1、Electric Power SystemsThe modern society depends on the electricity supply more heavily thanever before. It can not be imagined what the world should be if the electricity supply were interrupted all over the world. Electric power systems (or electric energy systems), providing electricity to the mo

2、dern society, have become indispensable components of the industrial world.The first complete electric power system (comprising a generator, cable, fuse, meter, and loads) was built by Thomas Edison the historic Pearl Street Station in New York City which began operation in September 1882. This was

3、a DC system consisting of a steam-engine-driven DC generator supplying power to 59 customers within an area roughly 1.5 km in radius. The load, which consisted entirely of incandescent lamps, was supplied at 110 V through an underground cable system. Within a few years similar systems were in operat

4、ion in most large cities throughout the world. With the development of motors by Frank Sprague in 1884, motor loads were added to such systems. This was the beginning of what would develop into one of the largest industries in the world. In spite of the initial widespread use of DC systems, they wer

5、e almost completely superseded by AC systems. By 1886, the limitations of DC systems were becoming increasingly apparent. They could deliver power only a short distance from generators. To keep transmission power losses ( I 2 R ) and voltage drops to acceptable levels, voltage levels had to be high

6、for long-distance power transmission. Such high voltages were not acceptable for generation and consumption of power; therefore, a convenient means for voltage transformation became a necessity. The development of the transformer and AC transmission by L. Gaulard and JD Gibbs of Paris, France, led t

7、o AC electric power systems. In 1889, the first AC transmission line in North America was put into operation in Oregon between Willamette Falls and Portland. It was a single-phase line transmitting power at 4,000 V over a distance of 21 km. With the development of polyphase systems by Nikola Tesla,

8、the AC system became even more attractive. By 1888, Tesla held several patents on AC motors, generators, transformers, and transmission systems.Westinghouse bought the patents to these early inventions, and they formed the basis of the present-day AC systems. In the 1890s, there was considerable con

9、troversy over whether the electric utility industry should be standardized on DC or AC. By the turn of the century, the AC system had won out over the DC system for the following reasons:（1）Voltage levels can be easily transformed in AC systems, thus providing the flexibility for use of different vo

10、ltages for generation, transmission, and consumption.（2）AC generators are much simpler than DC generators.（3）AC motors are much simpler and cheaper than DC motors. The first three-phase line in North America went into operation in 1893a 2,300 V, 12 km line in southern California. In the early period

11、 of AC power transmission, frequency was not standardized. Many different frequencies were in use: 25, 50, 60, 125, and 133 Hz. This poses a problem for interconnection. Eventually 60 Hz was adopted as standard in North America, although 50 Hz was used in many other countries. The increasing need fo

12、r transmitting large amounts of power over longer distance created an incentive to use progressively high voltage levels. To avoid the proliferation of an unlimited number of voltages, the industry has standardized voltage levels. In USA, the standards are 115, 138, 161, and 230 kV for the high volt

13、age (HV) class, and 345, 500 and 765 kV for the extra-high voltage (EHV) class. In China, the voltage levels in use are 10, 35, 110 for HV class, and 220, 330 (only in Northwest China) and 500 kV for EHV class . The first 750 kVtransmission line will be built in the near future in Northwest China. W

14、ith the development of the AC/DC converting equipment, high voltage DC (HVDC) transmission systems have become more attractive and economical in special situations. The HVDC transmission can be used for transmission of large blocks of power over long distance, and providing an asynchronous link betw

15、een systems where AC interconnection would be impractical because of system stability consideration or because nominal frequencies of the systems are different. The basic requirement to a power system is to provide an uninterrupted energy supply to customers with acceptable voltages and frequency. B

16、ecause electricity can not be massively stored under a simple and economic way, the production and consumption of electricity must be done simultaneously. A fault or misoperation in any stages of a power system may possibly result in interruption of electricity supply to the customers. Therefore, a

17、normal continuous operation of the power system to provide a reliable power supply to the customers is of paramount importance. Power system stability may be broadly defined as the property of a power system that enables it to remain in a state of operating equilibrium under normal operating conditi

18、ons and to regain an acceptable state of equilibrium after being subjected to a disturbance. Instability in a power system may be manifested in many different ways depending on the system configuration and operating mode. Traditionally, the stability problem has been one of maintaining synchronous o

19、peration. Since power systems rely on synchronous machines for generation of electrical power, a necessary condition for satisfactory system operation is that all synchronous machines remain in synchronism or, colloquially in step. This aspect of stability is influenced by the dynamics of generator

20、rotor angles and power-angle relationships, and then referred to rotor angle stability The main idea of the passageElectric power system is composed of power generation, substation, transmission, distribution and consumption etc. the electric energy production and consumption system. It is the funct

21、ion of nature through an energy generating power plant ( mainly including boilers, turbine, generator and power plant auxiliary production system) into electrical energy, and then lose, substation and distribution system power supply to the load center, through a variety of equipment and then conver

22、ted into power, heat, light different forms of energy, for region economy and peoples living services. Due to a power point and the load centers in different parts of the majority, also cannot be stored, so the production, transmission, distribution and consumption at the same time, and in the same

23、region of organic composition of a whole, energy production must keep balance with consumption. Therefore, power on the development and use of dispersion, and power supply and load of continuous random variation, constraints on the power system structure and operation. Accordingly, the power system

24、to achieve its function, it will take in all aspects and at different levels of the corresponding provision of information and control system, so that the production of electric energy and transport processes for measurement, control, regulation, protection, communication and scheduling, to ensure that users have access to safe, economic, high-quality electric energy.
