Steady-state stability (Static stability)
TmTL = J. dN/dt + BN
Where
Jmoment of inertia of rotating part
Bdamping coefficient (due to friction and windage)
Under steady state (stable) condition
dN/dt = 0
Therefore, Tm = TL + BN which is basically static stability.

Steady-state stability (Dynamic stability)
At both I1 and I2, Tm = TL. However, which one of I1 and I2 is stable?I1 is unstable and I2 is stable.
I1 is unstable because if due to some perturbation
(i) Speed increases then Tm > TL causing the system to speed up.
(ii) Speed decreases, then Tm < TL causing the system to slow down.
I2 is stable because
(i) Any speed increment at I2 causes Tm < TL and the system will slow
down.
(ii) Any speed decrement at I2 causes Tm > TL and the system will speed up.

Steady-state stability (Dynamic stability) (2)
It can be shown (assignment problem 4.1) that to achieve dynamic stability at a
particular operating speed:
Note: There is a slight difference between this condition and equation (4.5)in the text , but both carries the same essence.

Steady -state Stability (example)
A motor has a torque speed characteristics given by Tm=30-0.053N (torque in N-
m, speed in rad/sec). The motor is running a constant load torque of 25 N-m.
The system (motor and load) was initially running at steady state.
(i) Find the steady state speed.
(ii) Due to a single impulse type disturbance the speed decreases temporarily by
50 rpm. Find the speed of the system in rpm 0.6s after the disturbance has
ceased. J = 0.05 kg-m2.

Thus the steadystate speed is N=N1=5/0.053=94.34 rad/sec. (60/2p) = 900.88 rpm.

Hence the final speed after 0.6s will be
