Transient Stability

Transient stability refers to the ability of an electrical power system to maintain synchronized operation after a sudden disturbance, such as a short circuit or the loss of a generator. When such an event occurs, the system's generators and equipment experience abrupt changes in power flow, which can cause them to drift out of sync. Transient stability is about the system's capacity to quickly recover and re-establish stable operation without losing synchronization, ensuring continuous, reliable power delivery despite disturbances. Maintaining transient stability is crucial for preventing blackouts and ensuring the robustness of the electrical grid.
