Demonstration of voltage stability by comparing dynamic simulations and quasi steady state analysis

Abstract

In this paper, Power-Voltage Curves obtained from quasi steady state analysis is used to demonstrate the concept of voltage stability. This method is shown to be applicable to analyze the voltage stability when the load consists of constant admittance as well as dynamic induction motor loads. The results obtained from quasi steady state analysis is compared with the results of detailed real time simulations. As expected, the paper confirms that quasi steady state analysis can be used to predict the voltage collapse point of radial power systems with reasonable accuracy even when the loads consist of dynamic loads. The simulations and analysis programs developed in the research can be used as teaching tools.
