This dissertation deals with the problem of dynamic aggregation of turbine and speed governor models of coherent generating units to calculate dynamic equivalents for power system transient stability studies. The turbine and speed governor models considered in this work are in the Brazilian electrical system stability database (Anatem models). The methodology used for the calculation of coherency-based dynamic equivalents has three basic steps: the identification of the coherent groups of generating units, the static reduction of the external network and the dynamic aggregation of coherent generating unit models. The dynamic aggregation of a group of coherent generating units consists of the representation of this group by one or more equivalent generating units. The coherent generating units can be represented by different models of synchronous machine, excitation system, stabilizer, turbine and speed governor. The linear parameters of the equivalent models are numerically adjusted using the Levenberg-Marquardt method in order to solve the multivariable optimization problem. The frequency responses are presented in Bode diagrams (magnitude and phase). The well known New England system is considered for the evaluation of the dynamic performance of the equivalents. The angular swing curves and electric power curves of the internal system generators as well as bus voltage curves obtained with the equivalent system are compared with those obtained with the simulation of the complete system.
