Question: You are working as a group of consultants for Western Power Distribution. They are interested in balancing the grid based on supply and demand. The grid is well represented by the single-machine infinite-bus (SMIB) model:
δ· = ω
Mω· = Pm -Pmaxsinδ - Dω
where, Pm is the input mechanical power and Pmax is the maximum capacity of the line to transmit active power. As in the example given in Alberto and Bretas (2000a), consider the constants as: Pmax = 3, Pm = 2, M = 0.05, D = 0.15. You can also consider other values of the constant and a multi-machine case given in Alberto - and Bretas (2000b).

To model the dynamics of the power grid you can explore the following:
- steady states;
- stability of steady states;
- numerical solution of the power system in different operating regimes;
- mechanical and electrical power ranges for the power system being stable.
