This paper presents the impact of grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) generator on dynamic voltage stability of a power distribution system by considering solar intermittency, PV penetration level, and contingencies such as line outage and load increase. The IEEE 13 node test feeder is used as a test system, and a solar PV of 0.48 kV/0.5 MVA is integrated into the test system. Test results show th...

Impending voltage collapse can often be avoided by appropriate control of loads. However the traditional form of load control (shedding) is unpopular due to the resulting consumer disruption. Advances in communications and computer systems allow more selective load control though. Individual loads that are sacrificeable in the short-term can be switched with minimal consumer disruption. The pap...

This paper presents a new methodology for online voltage stability assessment, consisting of two steps. Firstly, the time evolution of the power system operating state is modeled with the help of a forecasting-aided state estimator; secondly the voltage collapse point is determined through an extrapolation technique based on tangent vector behavior. Tests are carried out using the IEEE-14 bus s...

The stability index is a function of real & reactive power injected at that node as well as of node voltage. The report presents stability analysis of radial distribution networks. Two voltage stability indexes are used for identifying the node, which is most sensitive to voltage collapse. Therefore to calculate node voltages for varying operating conditions a simple load flow technique for sol...
