Abstract - The continuous increase in the demand of active and reactive power in the power system network has limits
as scope for network expansion many a times poses serious problem.The power system must be able to maintain
acceptable voltage at all nodes in the system at a normal operating condition as well as post disturbance periods.
Among all stability issues, voltage instability due to the inability of the transmission or generation system to deliver the
power requested by loads is one of major concerns in today's power system operations. Usually, voltage instability
initiates from a local bus but may develop to wide-area or even system-wide instability. Voltage stability assessment in

I. INTRODUCTION
In recent years, modern power systems have experienced many technical challenges due to increasing complexities in
operation and structure of the interconnected power grid. Voltage stability is recognized as one of the major problems in many
power systems throughout the world such as the western region (WECC) of the United States in 1996, the Chilean power
system in 1997 accounting for a loss of 80% of its total load, the Hellenic system covering the entire Athens and the
neighboring area in 2004 [1]. Voltage instability is mainly associated with the inability of the power system to maintain
acceptable voltages at all buses in the system under normal conditions and after being subject to disturbances such as gradual
load increases or outages of critical lines or generating units. The general characteristic of voltage instability is that the
voltage level at different locations slightly changes after the disturbance but abruptly declines near to the collapse point.
Therefore, the voltage level itself is not a good indicator. The system operator needs performance indices either in online or
offline modes to determine how close the system is to the collapse and what the control actions should be carried out in that
event. In offline planning activities, computational speed is generally not a problem. However, for online analysis, real-time
or faster-than-real-time tools are of the key interest for monitoring and enhancing stability of the power system. There are a
few challenges in developing such tools for online operation. First, power systems under the deregulated environment in
many parts of the world are operated by several independent transmission operators. Among these operators, only limited
number of information is exchanged primarily due to business competitions. This makes a study of the entire system harder
than before [2]. The dynamics involved in voltage instability are restricted to load buses with LTC, restorative loads etc.
These load voltage control devices are operated for few minutes to several minutes. So, generator dynamics can be substituted
by appropriate equilibrium conditions. Under stressed conditions, coupling between voltage and active power is not weak [3].
So, insufficient active power in the system also leads to voltage instability problems. The following are the main contributing
factors to voltage instability problem.
Increased stress on power system.
Insufficient reactive power resources.
Load restoring devices in response to load bus voltages.
Unexpected and or unwanted relay operation following a drop-in voltage magnitude
Line or generator outages.
Increased consumption in heavy load centers
machine is connected to a load bus then there will be pure voltage instability. When a single machine is connected to infinite
bus then there will be pure angle instability. When synchronous machines, infinite bus and loads are connected then there will
be both angle and voltage instability but their influence on one another can be separated [2].method was also shown to have
parallels with the well-accepted modal analysis of the Jacobian matrix. These include defining geometric indices to identify
critical buses and participation factors to quantify contribution of network elements to their criticality. The method however
does not require post power flow solution processing of the Jacobian matrix; such computational advantage may make it
suitable for online applications.
Even though voltage instability phenomenon is dynamic in nature, both static and dynamic analysis methods [4] are used. To
operate the system safely, system is to be analyzed for various operating conditions and contingencies. In most cases, the
system dynamics affecting voltage stability are usually quite slow and much of the problem can be analyzed using static
analysis that gives information about the maximum load ability limit and factors contributing to instability problem. Static
approach involves computation of only algebraic equations and it is faster than dynamic approach. Static analysis takes less
computational time compared to dynamic analysis and conventional power ow is used in the static analysis. A few static
voltage stability analysis methods are proposed in the literature for analyzing the problem.

V is the bus voltage, While Qsvc is the SVC reactive power which is directly proportional to the product of the square of the
voltage and the variable susceptance, Bsvc.
From the equations, we see the direct proportionality of reactive power of the SVC, to the magnitude of the bus voltage
raised to power 2.This means that the adjustment of Bsvc makes a direct impact on the Qsvc; thus, regulating its quantity in a
manner in which the susceptance is varied.

aDiagonal eigenvalue matrix of JR
Where is the ith eigenvalue, i is the of ith column right eigenvector and i is the ithrow left eigenvector of matrix JR.
Each eigenvalue and corresponding right and left eigenvectors i and i, define the ith mode of the system. The ithmodal
reactive power variation is defined as:
㌳ a䀀 ……………………………………….. 3.9
Where Ki is a scale factor to normalize vector such that
Ki2 ∑Øji2 = 1
The corresponding ithmodal voltage variation is:
‹
Vmi a Qmi …………………………………. 3.10
Equation (3.10) can be summarized as follows:
The voltage stability can be defined by the mode of eigenvalue λi. The minimum eigenvalue in a power system is the global
VSI value. Larger value of λi will give smaller changes in the voltages when the small disturbance happen. When the system
is weaker, the voltage becomes weaker. A system is stable when the eigenvalue of Jr is positive. The limit is reached when
one of the eigenvalue reach zero. If one of the eigenvalue is negative the system is unstable.
There is no need to evaluate all the eigenvalues of JR of a large power system because it is known that once the minimum
eigenvalues becomes zeros the system Jacobian matrix becomes singular and voltage instability occurs. So the eigenvalues of
importance are the critical eigenvalues of the reduced Jacobian matrix JR. Thus, the smallest eigenvalues of JR are taken to be
the least stable modes of the system. The rest of the eigenvalues are neglected because they are considered to be strong
enough modes. Once the minimum eigenvalues and the corresponding left and right eigenvectors have been calculated the
participation factor can be used to identify the weakest node or bus in the system.
If and i represent the right- and left- hand eigenvectors, respectively, for the eigenvalue of the matrix JR, then the
participation factor measuring the participation of the kth bus in ith mode is defined as
o a o o ……………………………………… 3.11
Note that for all the small eigenvalues, bus participation factors determine the area close to voltage instability.
Equation (3.11) implies that Pki shows the participation of the ith eigenvalue at bus k. The node or bus k with highest Pki is the
most contributing factor in determining ith mode. Therefore, the bus participation factor determines the area close to voltage
instability provided by the smallest eigenvalue of JR.
Figure shows the voltage profile of all buses of the Western System Coordinating Council (WSCC) 3-Machines 9-Bus system
as obtained from the load flow. It can be seen that all the bus voltages are within the acceptable level (±5%); some standards
consider (±10%). The lowest voltage compared to the other buses can be noticed in bus number 5.Since there are nine buses
among which there is one swing bus and two PV buses, then the total number of eigenvalues of the reduced Jacobian matrix
JR is expected to be six. Participation factors is calculated for min. Eigen value = 5.6802.

The result shows that the buses 5, 6 and 8 have the highest participation factors to the critical mode. The largest
participation factor value “0.2756” at bus 5 indicates the highest contribution of this bus to the
voltage collapse.

According to Table 4.5, we can mention the voltage of bus 5 for the base case without SVC is lower than that of other loading
buses. After placing of SVC on bus 5, eigenvalue has been also increased which indicate that the system become more stable.
Above table gives the value of bus voltage magnitude profile of IEEE-14 bus system. It noticeable that all bus voltages are 5
percent at the permissible level (±). Participation factors are planned for the lowest value of Eigen = 1,5638.
Table 5.2 bus voltage magnitude proile ,participation factor of all buses of the IEEE 14 Bus system
As per above result,we can seen that buses 14,10,9 have more participation factor among the all other buses. The bus 14 has
highest participation factor which gives the more contribution of this bus to voltage collapse.
From Table 5.5,we can see that the voltage of bus 14 is lower for the base case without SVC than the voltage of other load
buses. All buses have fluctuations and loading capacity has been improved 0.4120 to 0.6354 after placing SVC
V. CONCLUSION
Voltage instability analysis is an important parameter for monitoring the bus voltage in the electrical power system,.Modal
Analysis Method is used in voltage stability analysis of power systems are presented. The voltage collapse problem is
studied by using above method. Bus 5 & 6 are more susceptible to voltage collapse in WSCC - 9 bus system while Bus 14 is
more susceptible to voltage collapse in IEEE 14 bus systemby all the three methods. The Q-V curves are used successfully to
confirm the result obtained by Modal analysis technique, where the same buses are found to be the weakest and contributing
to voltage collapse. The stability margin or the distance to voltage collapse is identified based on voltage and reactive power
variation. Furthermore, the result can be used to evaluate the reactive power compensation and better operation & planning..
The reactive power support to the weak bus is provided by using shunt connected FACTS device Static Var Compensator
(SVC) which is modelled as variable suscpetance mode. The voltage stability of the weak bus is enhanced after the placement
of svc.
