Voltage collapse diagnostic and ATC system
First Claim
1. A voltage collapse diagnosis method for an electrical power system, comprising:
- defining a plurality of buses and a plurality of reactive reserves in the electrical power system as a plurality of a agents; and
identifying an exhaustion for each of the agents in response to applying at least one contingency applied to the electrical power system;
wherein the agents are defined such that each agent is supported by similar reactive reserves.

Abstract
The present invention provides an analysis method for an electrical power system whereby the plurality of buses are grouped into agents, family lines of agents and families of agents based on the reactive reserves depleted when the buses are loaded. Contingencies are then applied to the electrical power system and the reactive reserves are monitored and an exhaustion factor is determined for one or more family lines in one ore more families. A method for selecting double outage that have no solution for each outage that has no solution when the outage is removed in small steps and an additional step has no solution. The boundary case solution is used to assess where, why, and how the contingency causes voltage instability, voltage collapse, and local blackout. Based on this information, the design of voltage rescheduling, active rescheduling, unit commitment, load shedding is determined that can be used as preventive, corrective, or emergency controls in applications such as system design and planning, operation planning, reactive and voltage management, real time control, and Special Protection System Control. Based on this information, solutions can then be applied to the political power system.
