Dynamic voltage stability assessment of an electric power system using trajectory sensitivity analysis

Dynamic voltage stability has been an important problem in electric power systems. The dynamic behavior of modern power networks has been experiencing significant changes mainly due to the restructuring of electric industry, the introducing of open market environment and competition. In this paper it is presented a methodology to assess the dynamic voltage stability of an electric power system using trajectory sensitivity analysis. Trajectory sensitivity analysis can provide valuable insights into the security of an electric power system. In this study it was simulated a significant load demand disturbance in a test power network. The Automatic Voltage Regulator of the generating units, the Under Load Tap Changer and loads models were taken into account. The simulation results were obtained using EUROSTAG program and post-processing module developed using the Matlab software package.
