Voltage Stability

This book offers a comprehensive assessment of the stability of modern power systems through advanced nonlinear analysis frameworks. It addresses the new challenges to power system stability posed by the anticipated integration of numerous power-electronic-interfaced devices needed to support renewable energy generation. Given the diverse operational timescales associated with controllers for power-electronic-interfaced devices, these devices can have an impact on a wide range of dynamic phenomena, thereby significantly influencing the system's dynamic performance and stability.

Presenting the continuation and bifurcation-based approaches to assess power system voltage stability, this self-contained manual first provides basic definitions related to voltage stability based on IEEE/CIGRE voltage stability classification. Then the need for robust numerical techniques that are needed to address various aspects of voltage instability is articulated. It presents a tutorial introduction to the basic concepts in bifurcation theory and continuation methods. These methods lead to robust numerical techniques for voltage stability study. The book also provides details related to continuation power flow. In addition, it provides the approach to trace voltage stability boundary for changing system conditions and proposes a uniformed framework that provides computational approaches for both short-term and long-term voltage stability phenomena.

Voltage Stability of Electric Power Systems presents a clear description of voltage instability and collapse phenomena. It proposes a uniform and coherent theoretical framework for analysis and covers state-of-the-art methods. The book describes practical methods that can be used for voltage security assessment and offers a variety of examples. This is a first attempt to condense the technical papers and reports on this subject into a single, coherent, and theoretically sound presentation.
