Transient stability involves the response to large disturbances which may cause rather large charges in rotor speeds, Power angels, and Power transfers.
Dynamic or small single stability involves the response to small disturbances that occur in the system. Producing oscillations the system is said to be dynamically stable if these oscillations do not acquire more than certain amplitude and die out quickly if these oscillations continually grow in amplitude the system is dynamically unstable.
Steady state stability relates to the response of a synchronous machines to gradually increasing Lord . it is basically connected with the determination of the upper limit of machine loading before losing synchronous provided the loading is increased gradually.
Power System stability implies that it's ability to return to normal stable operation after having been subjected to some form of disturbance. Instability means a condition denoting loss of Synchronism of Synchoronus machines or falling out of step.
