The static voltage stability and the dynamic voltage stability are int
egrated. To consider a shunt compensator and/or a more general load wh
ich is dependent on voltage, a modified criterion for the static volta
ge stability is developed and the system is controlled to satisfy this
static stability criterion. For an accurate analysis of the dynamic v
oltage stability, the system model includes excitation systems, tap-ch
angers, capacitors and power system stabilizers in addition to network
equations. A parameter optimization technique with a modal performanc
e measure is developed to determine optimal control parameters for dyn
amic voltage stability enhancement.
