Power system stability control - Part 1: Guideline for framework design of power system stability control

IEC TS 63384-1:2023 provides guidance for power system stability control framework design. It covers the uniform use of terms and definitions, general objectives and principles for power system stability control, the classification of power system stability control, and the framework combining several types of stability controls in a coordinated and cost-effective (risk-based) manner.
In accordance with this guideline, the framework is designed to cope with disturbances of different probabilities of occurrence and impact on power system security and stability. Effective control approaches are designed to prevent or minimize the scope of future blackouts.

POWER SYSTEM STABILITY CONTROL –

Part 1: Guideline for framework design of power system stability control

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their
preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent
rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
IEC TS 63384-1 has been prepared by subcommittee 8C, Network management in
interconnected electric power systems, of IEC technical committee 8: System aspects of
electrical energy supply. It is a Technical Specification.
The text of this Technical Specification is based on the following documents:

POWER SYSTEM STABILITY CONTROL –

Part 1: Guideline for framework design of power system stability control

1 Scope
This part of IEC 63384 provides guidance for power system stability control framework design.
It covers the uniform use of terms and definitions, general objectives and principles for power
system stability control, the classification of power system stability control, and the framework
combining several types of stability controls in a coordinated and cost-effective (risk-based)
manner.
In accordance with this guideline, the framework is designed to cope with disturbances of
different probabilities of occurrence and impact on power system security and stability. Effective
control approaches are designed to prevent or minimize the scope of future blackouts.
2 Normative references
There are no normative references in this document
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
ISO and IEC maintain terminology databases for use in standardization at the following
addresses:
• IEC Electropedia: available at https://www.electropedia.org/
• ISO Online browsing platform: available at https://www.iso.org/obp
3.1
power system stability control
< electric power system> control in a power system which prevents system insecurity, instability
and collapse caused by disturbances and minimizes further loss of power supply
Note 1 to entry: Remedial Action Scheme, System Integrity Protection Schemes (SIPS), Special Protection System
and System Protection Scheme are typical examples of stability control implementation.
3.2
power system stability control framework
framework designed to describe the fundamental principles of power
system stability control, composed of a contingency list, the objective of control, the types of
stability control, methods of control decision planning and control activation
Note 1 to entry: Usually, several types of stability control are combined to prevent system insecurity, instability,
collapse, and blackouts upon occurrence of contingencies, so that the adaptability of each type of stability control
can be enhanced and the coordination of different types of stability controls can be facilitated.
