Ca. Canizares et al., COMPARISON OF PERFORMANCE INDEXES FOR DETECTION OF PROXIMITY TO VOLTAGE COLLAPSE, IEEE transactions on power systems, 11(3), 1996, pp. 1441-1447
The paper proposes a new test function to be used in an existent perfo
rmance index for detection of proximity to a static voltage collapse p
oint. This test function is based on a reduction of the load flow Jaco
bian with respect to the critical bus of a system. The test function i
s compared with known singular values and eigenvalues indices, and wit
h other previously proposed test functions. A thorough analysis of the
similarities, advantages, and disadvantages of all these indices and
test functions is presented. The techniques are tested and compared on
the IEEE 300 bus test system, showing the effect of system characteri
stics and limits in these indices and functions.
