The development of the Wide Area Measurement Systems (WAMS) in the Unified Electric Power System (UES) of Russia and using phasor measurement technology (or PMU technology) open up new prospects in the electric power system (EPS) operational dispatch and automatic control. PMU devices installation on synchronous generators (SG) allows to obtain information not only about currents and stator voltages phasors, but also information about the excitation current and excitation voltage. This set of high-precision measurements of the network state parameters, in the presence of generators mathematical models, provides the possibility of calculating such parameters, the direct measurements of which are very difficult. One of these parameters, which can be determined using PMU, is the load angle of the SG (the angle between the generalized voltage phasor and the generator EMF phasor in the dq axis system) in the steady states and transients. The value of the load angle can be used to analyze the static and dynamic stability, as well as to quantify the damping properties of the SG at low-frequency oscillations (LFO) of the power systems electrical parameters. This study analyzes the possibilities for calculating the load angle based on a typical set of generator PMU signals: stator current and voltage vectors, excitation current and voltage. Two methods for calculating the load angle in steady states and transients have been developed and implemented. The first method is based on solving a system of nonlinear algebraic equations, and the basis of the second method is the mathematical model of the SG. The presented methods were tested using the SimInTech software package. Further, using the developed methods, the load angles of two turbogenerators installed at the plants of the Russian UES were calculated according to the PMU data of the parameters of the electromechanical transient process.
