Abstract
RAMIREZ-PERODOMO, L and LOZANO, A. Evaluation of indices for voltage stability monitoring using PMU measurements. Ing. Investig. [online]. 2014, vol.34, n.3, pp.44-49. ISSN 0120-5609. https://doi.org/10.15446/ing.investig.v34n3.43002.
Large disturbances such as voltage collapse and its consequences represent a large challenge to the operational safety of power systems. Therefore, it is important to have indicators of the presence of voltage stability problems in real time. Using phasor measurements of voltage and current that are presented in Phasor Measurement Units (PMU), indices for voltage stability monitoring can be calculated in real time. This paper presents some indices for voltage stability monitoring using PMU measurements. Evaluation of such indices on a simplified system was carried out, and the indices were classified according to their method of calculation. Finally, one of these indices was used with the New England 39-bus system under different operating scenarios, including load increments, line output and generator output, to check the indices' behavior for voltage stability monitoring based on synchronized local measurements.
