Power system transient stability enhancement by Keh, Soon Heng

“…To understand how it works we will need to first understand how a power system works with the help of a simplified power model known as the Single Machine to Infinite Bus and make used of the simulation software “MATLAB” to build and run the stimulation models. Last but not least, we will review and conclude our results from stimulation models and analyses by comparing results and suggest what could be done for future recommendations.…”
