Voltage Stability Assessment Using Synchronized Phasor Measurements Applied to the Argentine Power System

摘要

This paper presents tests of different methods for long term voltage stability analysis based on PMU measurements. In particular, Thevenin Impedance Matching and sensitivity calculation are studied. Simulation are performed in a Argentine power system model, modified to include the main components for studying long term voltage stability. In particular, Disconnection of a large Thermal Generating Station causing long-term voltage instability at Gran Buenos Aires Area is studied. It is shown that computing the apparent impedance of Thevenin equivalent at a load bus from measurements taken at a single time but at various locations of the transmission corridor produce a significant reduction of the estimation error respect from the case when only local measurements are used. Voltage Stability analysis is performed using a reduced power system model with changing parameters that are computed only with PMU data at each time. Voltage stability index and sensibility calculations are performed using this reduced power system model.
