Power System Stability A function of fast protective relaying PSS is used to provide damping to prevent power system oscillations Provide damping via excitation control PSS has little effect on first swing stability, but restores damping lost by adding high initial response excitation systems Many different stabilizing schemes exist - focus on integral of accelerating power
