Power System Voltage Stability

Abstract

Power system voltage stability is characterized as being capable of maintaining load voltage magnitudes within specified operating limits under steady state conditions. In this paper, the first order delay model of a load admittance change is introduced. Then, using this model, a set of linearized dynamic equations is derived and stability conditions are obtained. An earlier result in the literature is shown to agree with that in this paper. The stability conditions are tested and verified in a 2-load, 2- power source system and a 13-node, 4-power source system.
