Tm and Teoperate on the rotor in opposite direction
The mechanical torque, Tm is provided by the prime mover
The electrical torque, Teis developed by the interaction of magnetic field and
stator currents.

The swing equation
A differential equation can be written relating the accelerating torque, moment of
inertia and acceleration. That is,

•In mkssystem of units,
•J= the total moment of inertia in Kg-m
2
•m= angular displacement of rotor with respect to a stationary axis in mechanical
radians
•t=time in seconds
•Tm= mechanical or shaft torque supplied by prime mover less retarding torque
due to rotational losses in N-m
•Te= the net electrical torque or electromagnetic torque in N-m
•Ta= the net accelerating torque in N-m
It is convenient to measure the rotor angular position with respect to reference
axis which rotates at synchronous speed. Therefore, we define,

Chapter1. Introduction to power system stability problem

•sm= synchronous speed of the machine in mechanical radians/sec
•m= the angular displacement of rotor in mechanical radians from the
synchronously rotating reference axis.
The derivatives of eq.2 with respect to time are

•Where,
M=Jm
The M term varies over a wide range depending on the type of machine. That is
whether a synchronous generator or turbo generator. In that case it demands to
define another Inertia constant, H as follows:
