With PowerWorld Simulator using the Example 11_9 case determine the critical clearing time (to the closest 0.01

Question:

With PowerWorld Simulator using the Example 11_9 case determine the critical clearing time (to the closest 0.01 second) for a transmission line fault on the transmission line between bus 44 (PEACH69) and bus 14 (REDBUD69), with the fault occurring near bus 44.

Example 11_9

PowerWorld Simulator case Example 11_9 demonstrates a transient stability solution using the 37 bus system introduced with the system augmented to include classical models for each of the generators. By default, the case models a transmission line fault on the \(69 \mathrm{kV}\) line between bus 44 (PEACH69) and bus 14 (REDBUD69) with the fault at the bus 44 end of the line. The fault is cleared after 0.1 seconds by opening this transmission line. The results from this simulation are shown in Figure 11.18, with the largest generator angle variation occurring (not surprisingly) at the bus 44 generator. Notice that during and initially after the fault, the bus 44 generator's angle increases relative to all the other angles in the system. The critical clearing time for this fault is about 0.262 seconds.
