  • Abstract
    A procedure for locating directly the lowest saddle point of the potential energy function associated with a power transmission network is presented. This procedure is used to compute a margin of stability that specifies the maximum asynchronous transient energy that can be retained by the system while in synchronism. The potential function is shown to be convex in the principal region of the angle space. A unique solution is shown to exist for the load flow problem if the algorithm of solution is initiated at the origin.
