Synchronous generators have been connected through overhead transmission lines and interconnected to a regional power system network to improve reliability, enhance the security of supply, trade electricity and share the available natural resources for energy fuel supply. The interconnected power system experiences disturbances during normal operation such as load variations and faults, causes stress on the generators to control and remain in synchronism. This dissertation analyses the natural damping oscillations that will emanate during a disturbance in the interconnected power system and provide understanding to the system operator to monitor and operate effectively the Southern African Power Pool (SAPP). It is required to carry out the performance analysis and characteristics of the generators during the disturbances in order to identify the synchronizing and damping torque in respect of rotor angle and speed deviations. In power system control, the frequency is monitored continually since the speed of the generators is synchronized into the transmission lines. Any small variation on the interconnected system will affect the others machines. The effect can either be the system maintaining its stability or loss of synchronism. The latter can be avoided by identifying the nature and behaviour of oscillations and determining effective means to minimize them in interconnected power pool. It can also notify the system operator of an impending power outage. In this research investigation, a simplified model of the Southern African Power Pool is modeled using DIgSILENT Powerfactory power systems analysis software tool, using input data of the primary plant (synchronous generators) and associated interconnected power system network. Nodal and modal analysis tools were used to determine the dynamic status of the interconnected power network. A dynamic analysis will enable participating members of the power pool understand the nature of oscillations when affected by different types of events with continuous monitoring of the modes and eventually assist in re-tuning of secondary control equipment to improve the service delivery of electricity of a pool such as of the Southern African region.The study has identified the focal points of power oscillations in the modelled SAPP grid through simulations that affects the behaviour of system voltages during a disturbance and require to control damping oscillations on the synchronous generators.
