Transient Stability Simulation
The goal of transient stability simulation of power systems is to analyse the stability of a power system in a time window of a few seconds to several tens of seconds. Stability in this aspect is the ability of the system to quickly return to a stable operating condition after being exposed to a disturbance such as for example a tree falling over an overhead line resulting in the automatic disconnection of that line by its protection systems. In engineering terms, a power system is deemed stable if the rotational speeds of motors and generators, and substation voltage levels must return to their normal values in a quick and stable manner.

Famous quotes containing the words transient, stability and/or simulation:
“For the most part we allow only outlying and transient circumstances to make our occasions. They are, in fact, the cause of our distraction.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Traditions are the “always” in life—the rituals and customs that build common memories for children, offer comfort and stability in good times and bad, and create a sense of family identity.”
—Marian Edelman Borden (20th century)
“Life, as the most ancient of all metaphors insists, is a journey; and the travel book, in its deceptive simulation of the journey’s fits and starts, rehearses life’s own fragmentation. More even than the novel, it embraces the contingency of things.”
—Jonathan Raban (b. 1942)
