Abstract

The problem of stability boundary evaluation for the current power system state is of paramount importance for power system operation. In addition, maintaining stability after large scale disturbances has come to the fore in recent years. This paper presents the algorithm, which allows us to both evaluate the stability boundary of a power system and to calculate emergency control actions for maintaining stability in the case of blackout. The algorithm is based on Newton’s method for solving optimization problems. There are a number of emergency actions algorithms in literature, but most of them use heuristic rules. On the contrary, the proposed method has a reasonable analytical background. Thus, having an adequate power system model, the proposed method is able to calculate more accurate control actions. The paper demonstrates the very basic idea of the approach with the simplest example. Keywords: feasible boundary evaluation, power system stability, Newton’s method, Jacobian matrix.
