Transient Stability in industrial network

AI Thread Summary
Transient stability simulations on an isolated electrical network using ETAP 7.5 reveal that while generator faults on buses return to a stable state, cable faults cause rotor angle divergence, indicating instability. The issue persists despite reducing fault duration to 80ms and trying various exciters, suggesting that the problem may not lie with generator parameters. Faults applied at different distances along the cable consistently lead to rotor angle instability, unlike faults at bus terminals. The user is investigating potential network elements, such as transformers, that could be affecting stability. Further isolation of subsystems is planned to pinpoint the issue.

Hi All
I have done transient stability simulations on isolated electrical network using ETAP 7.5 software.
Problem: On buses Faults generators return to stable stade
But on cable faults, rotor angle is diverged so the system is not stable.
To be noted that we have 2 SOLAR generators of 5MW, exciter is AC8B and governor is ST70.
Please can you help me to know what can be the problem!
Regards

As far as I can *decipher* your post this would mean the fault conditions on cable terminals (or somewhere in the network far from generator) gives more difficulty for the generator's rotor to stay in synchronism after the fault. This can happen in various ways if the faults are not cleared in time. But I've never work with that software and don't know about your generators and cables network parameters to be more specific.
 
Thanks zoki85 for your reply.
Time fault is reduced to 80ms. What I don't understant that when fault applied on Bus loacted at the extremity of the cable or on the beginning we have no problem even if time fault increase to 250ms.So I can Conclud that I have no parameter problem on generators. But when fult is applied in the cable at any distance we have the rotor angle unstable. I have tried many types of exciters with different parameters : the same problem.

Is there maybe some element (transformer?) between generator's bus terminals and cable terminals?
 
Due to number of elements in the network, I try to isolate the problem by deleting sub systems. I will inform you in few time
Thanks
 
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
