Abstract
A cost effective, low maintenance generator brake is proposed using re cent developments in thick film, metal oxide resistors. The brake has very low resistance, and virtually no inductance, allowing its use dur ing a fault to slow a generator's acceleration. Simulation results usi ng the 39 Bus New England system show that placing brakes at each mach ine dramatically increases the global stability of a power system.
