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. Transmission, generation, and load aspects of the voltage
instability problem are treated in detail, and a comprehensive power
system model for use in voltage stability analysis is developed and
explained. Notions and concepts from nonlinear system theory are
presented in a tutorial manner for the use of those new to the field.
Loadability, sensitivity, and bifurcation analysis of voltage stability
are introduced and treated in depth. Voltage instability mechanisms are
classified and minutely examined, together with the countermeasures that
can be used to avoid them. In addition, voltage security criteria and
methods are reviewed, analyzed and illustrated through realistic
computer results. Voltage Stability is a relatively recent and
challenging problem in Power Systems Engineering. It is gaining in
importance as the trend of operating power systems closer to their
limits continues to increase.
