A Study of Contingency Screening Method Considering Voltage Security |
Abstract |
In the operation of an electric power system, the voltage security of the system has acquired more significant importance after the occurrence of large system black-outs caused by voltage collapse several times. This paper describes a fast contingency screening method concerning voltage security. The method defines a voltage-sensitive buses where significant voltage changes would occur as a result of the contingency to reduce the number of bus voltages to be solved for continngency screening. This method is based on the observation that it is not necessary to solve the entire network in most contingency cases because boltage changes actually occur around the contingency. The P-Q decoupled linearized model and the fast error correction method are also adopted in the method to define voltage-sensitive buses and to calculate voltage magnitude on the selected voltage-sensitive buses fastly and reliably. The method suggested in this papaer has been tested in IEEE 30-bus model system and KEPCO 130-bus actual system and its effectiveness for practical use has also been confirmed. |
