Voltage stability assessment of a real power system using a detailed dynamic load model

Voltage stability problem has become one of the major concerns for power utilities in recent years. This is due to the exponentially growing demands and the associated stress on the power transmission resources. Moreover, voltage instability has been responsible for severe network collapses world-wide and subsequently, the possible threat of voltage instability is becoming more pronounced in power utilities. Having an accurate load model capable of capturing load behavior during system disturbances is crucial in voltage stability assessment. This paper comprehensively assesses the voltage stability of a real power system using a detailed dynamic load model.
