contents Dynamic stability is imperative for the operation of the electric power system. This article provides analytical results and effective stability criteria focusing on the interplay of network structures and the local dynamics of synchronous machines. The results are based on an extensive linear stability analysis of the third-order model for synchronous machines, comprising the classical power-swing equations and the voltage dynamics. The article explicitly covers the impact of Ohmic losses in a linear approximation in power grids, which are often neglected in analytical studies. Necessary and sufficient stability conditions are formulated, and different routes to instability are analysed, yielding concrete mathematical criteria applicable to all scales of power grids, from transmission to distribution grids, as well as microgrids. A subsequent numerical study of the criteria is presented, without and with resistive terms, to test how tight the derived analytical results are.
