Stability
Term · Energy · MLC-T-ENE-002164
The property of a system or element by virtue of which its output will ultimately attain a steady state. The amount of power that can be transferred from one machine to another following a disturbance. The stability of a power system is its ability to develop restoring forces equal to or greater than the disturbing forces so as to maintain a state of equilibrium.
(electric) The ability of an electric system to maintain a state of equilibrium during normal and abnormal conditions or disturbances. NERC definition
