    Abstract In recent studies, it has been verifiedheuristically andexperimentally (via simulations) that instability in power systems due to a fault occurs when one machine or a group of machines, called thecritical group, loses synchronism with the remaining machines. Using energy functions associated with a critical group (rather than system-wide functions), transient stability results which are less conservative than other existing results, have been obtained. The existence and identity of a critical group is ascertained in these studies byoff-line simulations. In this paper, we present results, for power systems with uniform damping, which establishanalytically theexistence and theidentity of the critical group of machines due to a given fault. We also present a result to determine estimates of the domain of attraction of asymptotically stable equilibrium points in power systems. The results presented herein can potentially be usedon-line to determine which machines belong to a critical group, and to use this information for corrective action (e.g.,shedding of the critical generators orfast valving for these generators). The applicability of the present results is demonstrated by means of a specific example (a 162-bus, 17-generator model of the power network of the State of Iowa).

    Abstract In this paper we formulate power systems as nonlinear nearly Hamiltonian systems. Using the invariance principle for ordinary differential equations, necessary and sufficient conditions for asymptotic stability are established and a new method of estimating the domain of attraction of the stable equilibrium point is developed. The present results constitute a novel approach to stability analysis and involve the following three steps: a. Given a system with dissipation, the stability of its equilibrium is ascertained by determining the stability of the associated conservative system. b. Attractivity of the stable equilibrium of the entire system (with dissipation) is determined from the system topology. c. An estimate of the domain of attraction of the asymptotically stable equilibrium is obtained by making use of results obtained in (a) and (b). The stability criterion developed in this paper sheds new light on the mechanism of instability in power systems and it provides analytical verification to the concept of the potential-energy boundary surface (PEBS). The PEBS is a hypersurface which makes up a part of the boundary of the domain of attraction of the stable equilibrium in a power system. The existence and properties of the PEBS have thus far been deduced primarily via simulations and heuristic methods.
