| -In addition to the special operating procedures addressing stability limit issues in Manual-03B, PJM utilizes a real-time Transient Stability Assessment (TSA) tool. |
13 |
| -TSA can monitor and determine transient stability of the system subject to **a select set of EMS contingencies** for balanced and unbalanced faults. |
14 |
| -PJM models a select set of three-phase faults with normal clearing and single-phase faults with delayed clearing. |
15 |
| -The contingencies or faults are in alignment with most planning events as defined in TPL-001-4 categories P1 through P4. |

| -TSA will also monitor and control for dynamic stability using a 3% damping criteria for the RTO. |
18 |
| -TSA will display contingencies and impacted generators not meeting 3% damping criteria for units 10 MVA or above, as simulated between 10 and 15 seconds. |
19 |
| -PJM will perform additional simulations to validate damping results not meeting criteria in Real-time. |

21 |
| -TSA is also utilized to assess transient voltage response. |
22 |
| -The transient voltage criteria is recovery to a minimum of 0.7 p.u after 2.5 seconds (0.7 p.u. of nominal voltage). |
23 |
| -Refer to Manual-37: Reliability Coordination for additional information. |
24 |
| -The typical controlling actions for transient voltage exceedance are switching of static reactive devices, such as capacitor and reactors, to maintain a strong pre-contingency voltage profile and reserving dynamic reactive output from SVCs, STATCOMs, and generators, for post-contingency voltage support. |

26 |
| -TSA computes stability limits by using real time network models. |
27 |
| -It **interfaces** with the [EMS](/wiki/real-time-reliability-model) and uses the State Estimation solution. |
28 |
| -Other input data includes the dynamic model for over 3000 generators and fault clearing times for specific equipment. |
29 |
| -For equipment without a specific fault clearing time, TSA will use zonal default clearing times. |
30 |
| -TSA also calculates and provides recommended stability control measures to prevent generator instability. |
31 |
| -Typically, the **control measure is expressed in terms of generator-specific MW adjustment**. |
32 |
| -In some cases, a Mvar adjustment may resolve a stability issue. |
33 |
| - |
34 |
| -TSA is used to monitor and control the generators with known stability concerns as defined in PJM Manual-03B. |
35 |
| -Since TSA uses real-time system conditions to assess stability, the limits tend to be less conservative or less restrictive than the manual operational procedures. |
36 |
| -The operational procedure limits are usually determined using conservative assumptions in order to cover a wider range of operating conditions. |
37 |
| -For scheduled transmission outages, TSA studies are used to determine the stability limits. |
38 |
| -For forced outages, the Manual-03B operational procedure limits are used until a real-time TSA run is completed. |
39 |
| -PJM will also use the Manual-03B operational procedure stability limits in certain cases, such as when TSA is down. |
