TEEE Transactions on Power Systems, Vol. 3, No.1, February 1988 APOSTURING STRATEGY AGAINST VOLTAGE INSTABILITIES IN ELECTRIC POWER SYSTEMS. A Trenuchit R. J. Thomas, Senior Member, IEEE Cornell University, School of Electrical Engineering Ithaca, NY 14853, ABSTRACT ‘The problem of system collapse or blackout charactorized by a local severe vollage depression ie ‘generally believed to be associated with inadequate VAR. Support at Key busses. In {1}, we proposed the minimum singular value of the Jacobian of the descriptor network equations as a vollage secutly index. In this paper, we Giscuss techniques for improving the system security with respect to this index. The elfct of adding capacitors are ‘examined. We also preset a continuation technique that tedistrbutos the systom generation to the opimal operating ‘condition with respect to the mimimum singular value index. INTRODUCTION ‘The blackout problem of an electric power system has classically boon associated with th transient stability problom, That is, one mechanism fo loss of a major portion of a grid isthe inabilty of certain generators to maintain ‘synchronism inthe face of a severe distubance. However this type of stability problem, whi Important, is being controlled to a great éxent by the advent of faster and more reliable protection systoms. In recent years an instability Lsualy termed a voltage insiabilly has been responsible for ‘serveral major network collapses world-wide [2-4], In some cases. angle and frequency remained constant while voltage continued 10 decay to a crtical value causing protection equipment to dismantle the notwork. In other bases, frequency and anglo swings accompanied the voltage decay. The phenomenon was not always. in response to a contingency such as a three-phase faut, but rather in response to what is generaly characterized as an inadequate VAR support at ertical network busses. The fundamental research issue has been the identification of Control or suppor techniques which wil causo the syetem to maintain the necessary vollage profile when an increase in Power flow is required. The actual cases of blackouts Characterized by voltage depressions reported in tho ltorature indicate thet standard practice procedures such as transformer tap changing, capactor switching, synchronous Condenser adjustment, and load sheccsng may aggravate fan already unstable voltage profile [4,5]. As with any at the TEE/bes 1987 Winter Meet tag, How Orlecees nonlinear system, there appears to be more than ono way to auso the instability. The most commonly investigated Phenomenon involves relating steady-state stabilly and ‘otage instability wih neighboring multiple equiva (6-3) Steady-state stabilty involves maintenance of a stable ‘equilibrium as cortain parameters are allowed to vary. In fact, Venikow [10] showed that its the Jacobian of the load-tlow equations. that characterizes the classical steady-state stably limits and therefor eigenvalues of the linearized systom matrix have a direct Dearing on any bifurcation of the equilbrium state. Several researchers have noted the singularity ofthe Jacobian during a votage ‘collapse and hence the problem involves abilucation of an fquilbrium ia much the same way as does the classical Steady-state stablity problem. In {t4], Glaviteh etal \ovelopad a voltage stabilly index based on the feasibilty Of solution to the power-flow equation for each nade. A Comparison of several proposed perlormance indices are given in {12} In [1] ana in the sequel we ciscuss the use of {he minimum singular value of the Jacobian as a global voliage stabity index and suggest @ way to improve the system operating condition it givan the resources to do £0. Futuro work wil bo needed to\corpare this index with other ‘existing Incices. PROBLEM FORMULATION The basic configuration used to explain voltage collapse 's shown in figure ta, In this veut the vollage source Vg in series with impedance Zy represents the ‘Thevenin equivalent of a network connected toa load. The load is deseribed by is real and reactive flows Pj and Q ‘and the load voltage V that resus. We should note that any loaditlow that requies loads to be represented as constant impedances will not be capable of simulating a volage collapse problem.
