Vol Stability Slides

Voltage stability refers to a power system's ability to maintain steady voltages at all buses under normal operating conditions and after being subjected to a disturbance. It involves balancing the reactive power supply and demand. Voltage stability is classified as large disturbance, small disturbance, transient, and longer term stability based on the type and size of disturbance. Analysis methods include time-domain simulations and static power flow analyses. Key factors that influence stability are load characteristics, reactive power support, and transmission network configuration. Preventive measures include reactive compensation, transformer tap control coordination, and undervoltage load shedding.

What is voltage stability ?

maintain steady acceptable voltages at all buses in the system


a system enters a state of voltage instability when a disturbance, increase
in load demand
inability of a power system to meet the demand for reactive power
a criterion for voltage stability stability is that,
bus voltage magnitude increase as reactive
power injection at the same
bus increase
a system is voltage unstable if,
V-Q sensitivity

voltage instability is essentially a local phenomenon


voltage collapse is more complex than simple voltage
instability

ILLUSTRATION OF VOLTAGE
INSTABILITY

A simple radial system for illustration of voltage stability phenomenon

Limit of satisfactory operation


For higher load demand , control of power by varying load
would be unstable
if load is supplied by transformers with ULTC, the tapchanger action try to raise the load voltage. This has lower
effective ZLD and due to that VR goes low still further and
It may call pure form of voltage instability.

LONGER TERM VOLTAGE STABILITY

LARGE DISTURBANCE VOLTAGE


STABILITY (LDVS)

It is concerned with systems ability to control voltages


following large disturbances such as system faults, loss of
generator or circuit contingency.
Load characteristics and the interaction of both continuous
and discrete controls and protections.
Determination of LDVS requires the examination of the
non-linear dynamic performance of a system over a period
of time (ULTC and generator field current limiter)

For analysis long-term dynamic simulations are required.


A criterion of large disturbance voltage stability, is that,
following a given disturbance and system control actions,
voltage at all buses reach acceptable steady state levels.

SMALL DISTURBANCE VOLTAGE


STABILITY (SDVS)

control voltages following small perturbations


load characteristics, continuous control and discrete
control
Basic process a steady state nature
Stability margin, identifying factors influencing stability,
examine wide range of system conditions and large
number of post contingency scenarios.
A criterion for SDVS, V-Q sensitivity

TRANSIENT VOLTAGE STABILITY

0 to 10 seconds, transient rotor angle stability


voltage
voltage collapse is caused by unfavorable fast
acting load components (IM and DC converters)
For severe voltage dips the reactive power demand
of IM increases, contributing to V.C
Electrical islanding and under frequency load
shedding resulting V.C. when imbalance is greater
than about 50%.

Voltage decays faster than frequency


under frequency relays may not operate
There are incidents where the voltage collapses before
frequency decays to the under frequency load shedding set
points

LONGER TERM VOLTAGE STABILITY

2-3 minutes
involves high loads, high power inputs from remote
generation and a sudden large disturbance (lass of
generator or loss of major transmission line)
the disturbance causes high reactive power losses and
voltage sags in load areas
the tap changer sense low voltages and act to restore
disturbance voltages thereby restoring load power levels

VOLTAGE INSTABILITY IN MATURE


POWER SYSTEM

intensive use of existing generation and transmission.


new generation in load areas and transmission lines from
remotely sited generation
increased use of shunt capacitor bank.
How V.I. can become a problem in Mature power system?

series reactive P.L. = I2 x take loading is I = 1000 amp, one


line outage.
other lines peak up 25%
14

losses = (5 lines x 3 phase x 10002 x 80 ohms ) = 1200 MVA


25% peak up so losses = 1500 MVA.
after several years load growth assume loading is 1500
Amp.
losses = 2700 MVAr
25% increase
3375 MVAr
because of these non linear process, V.S. problem develop
only in few years.

V-Q CURVES

voltage security is closely related to reactive power and a


v-q curves gives reactive power margin at the test bus.

V-Q curve sketches showing effect of voltage sensitive loads and tap changers on limit

the slope of the V-Q curves indicated the stiffness of the


test bus
reactive power of the generators can be plotted on same
graph
16

the effect of voltage sensitivity loads ( i.e. prior to tap


changing ) will have much greater reactive power margins
and much lower critical voltages
when tap changer hit limits, the curves tend to flatten out
rather then turn up on the left side

VOLTAGE STABILITY ANALYSIS


DYNAMIC ANALYSIS

for detailed studies of specific voltage control situations.


co-ordination of protection and controls and testing of
remedial measures.
dynamic simulations also examine whether and how the
steady-state equilibrium point will be reached.

18

STATIC ANALYSIS

allow examination of a wide range of system conditions


nature of the problem and identify the key condition
factors

19

DETERMINATION OF SHORTEST
DISTANCE TO INSTABILITY

increase load from Po,Qo in some direction until an eigen


value of a Jacobian is practically zero.
surface S represents the locus of all combinations of P and
Q which results in a zero eigen value of Jacobian.
P1,Q1 corrosponding to this point is the stability limit
which lies on or extremely near to S.

20

CAUSES OF VOLTAGE COLLAPSE

the load on the transmission lines is too high.


the voltage sources are too far from the load centres.
the source voltages are too low.
large distances between generation and load.
ULTC action during low voltage conditions.
poor co-ordination between various control and protective
systems.
insufficient load reactive compensation.

GENERIC DYNAMIC LOAD MODEL

Pt = V

or

Pv = c2V2 + c1V + c0

Ps = P0V

or

Ps = P0(d2V2 + d1V + d0)

where V is the per-unit magnitude of the voltage imposed


on the load
It can be seen that, at steady-state, state variable x of the
model is constant

A generic dynamic model

23

e = Ps P, must be zero

The transient output is then determined by the transient


characteristics P = xPt

The mismatch between the model output and the steadystate load demand is the error signal e
This signal is fed back to the integration block that gradually
changes the state variable x
This process is continues until a new steady-state (e=0) is
reached
Pt(V) = V, Ps(V) = P0Va; Qt(V) = V, Qs(V) = Q0Vb

24

LOAD MODELLING

ix3 = ixE = ixM + ixC ; iy3 = iyE + iyN + iyC


Exponential load

Polynomial load

P(V3) = Po (V3/V3o)

P = Po [aP(V/Vo)2 + bP(V/Vo) + CP]

Q(V3) = Qo (V3/V3o)

Q = Qo [aQ(V/Vo)2 + bQ(V/Vo) + CQ]

, depends on load ; aP + bP + cP = aQ = bQ = cQ = 1
Po,Qo is consumed power at reference voltage
complex current injected in to the network
IE = - (S/V3) = -[ P(V3) jQ(V3)/Vx3 j Vy3 ] = ixE + j VyE

25

CONCLUSION

Three key concepts of voltage stability are


the load characteristics as seen from the bulk power network
the available means for voltage control at generators and in the
network
the ability of network to transfer power particularly reactive power
from the point of production to the point of consumption
The network steady state loadability limit is not necessarily the voltage
instability limit
Static power flow based analyses of the post disturbance steady state is
the useful method of analyzing longer term voltage stability
The fundamental cause of voltage instability is identified as
incapability of combined transmission and generation system to meet
excessive load demand in either real power or reactive power form
