Development of Voltage Stability

This research intends to create an environment in which the voltage stability can be analyzed by plotting PV curve. In the advancement and development in the power system analysis, a tool on

Matlab/Simulink has been developed. It can look how stable the system can operate based on the
voltage surface when the load increases at any node. By repeating the power flow calculations
with Newton-Raphson method when the
load increases, the upper level voltage of P-V curve can be calculated. However, using usual
initial power flow calculation cannot compute both upper and lower level voltages of P-V
curve; therefore special methods must be used. In this research, upper and lower level voltages
of P-V curve can be calculated by
initial power flow calculation where the load is represented as a constant impedance load. The
developed environment is compared with a general power system analysis tool. In addition, the
developed environment can be applied in designing FACTS devices. Results demonstrate the
effectiveness of the proposed
methodology.

Modification of the Initial Load Flow Algorithm It is easy to plot a P-V curve for the simple power
system. However, it is not easy to plot the P-V curve for the common complicated systems.
Regardless to the system size, by calculating initial power flow while changing only one load, it
is possible to compute the upper level voltage closer to the nose point of the P-V curve. Anyway, the
nose point represents the stable limit point. To calculate these voltages, special methods must be used
where some methods have been already formulated. However, the algorithm used in this research can
be summarized as (1) [4], [5]. At any point of the obtained P-V curve, the load admittance
matrix of required load is changed to a constant impedance load as expressed in (1) with increasing
appropriate step size. Then, the admittance matrix of the load that is the admittance of the node
where the load is increasing will be calculated by conducting power flow. Fig. 2 illustrates
the process in which the nose point and lower level voltage are obtained. So, it could plot a P-V
curve by connecting each calculated point. The subscript 0 in the graph is the initial
power flow calculation result, VU is the upper level voltage which can be considered as a stable point
and VL is the lower level voltage which can be considered as an unstable point and
the arrow shows the other obtained voltage levels towards the nose point of the plotted P-V curve
