A comprehensive review of the voltage stability indices

Voltage stability assessment is a major issue in monitoring the power system stability. Different voltage stability indices (VSIs) have been proposed in the literature for voltage stability assessment. These indices can be used for distributed generation (DG) placement and sizing, detecting the weak lines and buses and triggering the countermeasures against voltage instability. This paper reviews the VSIs from different aspects such as concepts, assumptions, critical values and equations. The review results provide a comprehensive background to find out the future works in this field and select the best VSI for different applications like DG placement and sizing and voltage stability assessment.
