The voltage instability of power system often occurs when the active power on one or more weak branches exceeds its transfer capability. This paper presents a preventive control model for voltage stability using the active power transfer capabilities of weak branches as static voltage stability margin constraints. A local line-based voltage stability index is used to determine the critical cont...

voltage stability issues are growing challenges in many modern power systems. this paper proposes optimizing the size and location of static var compensator (svc) devices using a fuzzy weighted seeker optimization algorithm (fwsoa), as an effective solution to overcome such issues. although the primary purpose of svc is bus voltage regulation, it can also be useful for voltage stability enhance...

Reports of various committees set up to review the 2003 North American major power outages pointed out that a major exacerbating factor has been lack of situational awareness by power system operators. To improve reactive power compensation and contribute to the mitigation of power outages associated with the present near-limit operated commercialized grid, a bus voltage stability (BVS) index b...

1  Abstract—The short-term voltage stability (SVS) problem in large-scale receiving-end power systems is serious due to the increasing load demand, the increasing use of electronically controlled loads and so on. Some serious blackouts are considered to be related to short-term voltage instability. In China, the East China Grid (ECG) is especially vulnerable to short-term voltage instability d...

in this paper, the performance of two types of facts devices in order to enhance the power system static voltage stability has been investigated. these devices include static var compensator (svc) and thyristor controlled series capacitor (tcsc). the modeling of the single machine infinite bus (smib) and aforesaid devices has been made up in steady state mode with disregarding of the generator ...

in methods presented to calculate the voltage collapse point, the transmission system is usually the only part of the power system that is completely modeled. distribution systems are often replaced by aggregate load models because the use of the detailed model of distribution systems in voltage stability analysis not only increases the computation time, but also decreases the probability of co...
