Systematic application of the theory revealed the existence of stable and unstable periodic solutions as well as voltage collapse. A particular response depends on the value of the parameter under consideration. It has been shown that voltage collapse is a subset of overall bifurcation phenomena a system may experience under the influence of system parameters. A low-dimensional center manifold reduction is applied to capture the relevant dynamics involved in the voltage collapse process. The study also emphasizes the need for the consideration of nonlinearity, especially when the system is highly stressed.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":287152,"journal":{"name":"[Proceedings] Conference Papers 1991 Power Industry Computer Application Conference","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124921201","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Traditionally, postoutage system states are made to emulate as closely as possible preoutage system states, with system operations preformed only within blackout systems. Therefore, depending on the amount of preoutage load, some outage, loads may be experienced in the restored system. A method is proposed by which system operations in both blackout systems and sound systems are combined according to the amount of load in the preoutage systems, so that postrestoration system states with minimal outage loads from postoutage systems will be generated. A prototype system incorporating actual power systems and utilizing this method was built and tested under simulated conditions. The effectiveness of the proposed system is discussed on the basis of the test results.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":287152,"journal":{"name":"[Proceedings] Conference Papers 1991 Power Industry Computer Application Conference","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133159117","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A salient feature of the so-called continuation power flow is that it remains well conditioned at and around the critical point. As a consequence, divergence due to ill-conditioning is not encountered at the critical point, even when single-precision computation is used. Intermediate results of the process are used to develop a voltage stability index and identify areas of the system most prone to voltage collapse. Examples are given wherein the voltage stability of a system is analyzed using several different scenarios of load increase.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":287152,"journal":{"name":"[Proceedings] Conference Papers 1991 Power Industry Computer Application Conference","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115639843","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The principal result is the derivation of an analytic closed-form relation between the specified injections and the resulting voltages in the neighborhood of a singularity. This result is a companion to the conventional load flow sensitivity analysis which is valid only if the operating point is not at a Jacobian singularity. The new closed-form relation derived is theoretically important since it can predict and explain the main load flow phenomena observed through simulation analysis near a singularity. These are: the nonexistence of solutions for certain injection changes, the bifurcation of the voltages into two nearby solutions, the sudden collapse of voltages for small injection changes, and the nature of the collapse, that is, which buses are more susceptible to the collapse. Numerical simulations support the validity of the theoretical result by comparing the closed-form analytic relation near a singularity with exact load flow simulations.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":287152,"journal":{"name":"[Proceedings] Conference Papers 1991 Power Industry Computer Application Conference","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124926525","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Each subproblem corresponds to a linearized optimal power flow with additional constraints representing the hydro reservoir equations and a piecewise linear approximation of the expected future cost function. Each subproblem is solved by a customized network flow/dual simplex algorithm which takes advantage of the network characteristics of the hydro reservoirs and of the transmission system. The application of the methodology is illustrated in a case study with a Brazilian system comprising 44 hydroplants, 11 thermal plants, 463 buses and 834 circuits.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":287152,"journal":{"name":"[Proceedings] Conference Papers 1991 Power Industry Computer Application Conference","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131689883","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
