Independent power producers (IPP) perspectives on power system voltage stability

With an increasing involvement in power system connections, industrial and IPP engineers are developing interests in system voltage stability studies. This paper initiates discussions to promote the induction of voltage stability concept to the relevant chapter of the IEEE Brown Book. The concept is presented from the perspectives of independent power producers (IPP). The importance of scrutinizing voltage stability and security of industrial and IPP power systems is introduced. Voltage verses angular instabilities are discussed. Critical elements in load and system modeling constraints are introduced. An actual IPP case is presented as an example.
