Virtually all power-system analysis algorithms require the solution of a ne
twork/load model, During a numerical simulation of medium- and long-term dy
namic events, this model is solved at every timestep, In ail cases it is im
portant that there exist a solution to the model. In this paper we study th
e quasistatic network/load models for use in steady-state and dynamic power
-system analyses and present a set of sufficient conditions which ensures t
hat the network/load model is solvable for voltages and currents.
