Voltage stability has become an important issue in the planning and operation of many power systems. Contingencies such as unexpected line outages in a stressed system may often result in voltage instability which may lead to voltage collapse. This paper presents a Genetic Algorithm (GA) approach for solving the Voltage Security Constrained Optimal Power Flow (VSC-OPF) problem. Base-case ...
Power electronics continues to grow as an element of electrical loads. Most such loads, including motor drives, computer power supplies, and compact fluorescent lighting, serve to 'isolate' the load dynamics from the utility grid. The unfortunate effect is that these loads enforce local constant power behaviour. This tends to destabilise the supply system, resulting in voltage collapse. In this ...
Grid-connected inverters are key elements that interface the distributed energy sources with the grid.
