Abstract :
This paper considers an increasing problem in the consumer end of the electrical grid. The ongoing change from constant impedance loads towards constant power characteristics in new household electrical appliances may affect the network voltage stability. Can the smart grid development disarm this potential threat? This work points out an important target for load modeling in network simulation.
