Abstract

The aim of this study is the extent of direct methods for the study of voltage stability in power systems. Because of the diversity of devices with different speed of action, time-scales properties were explored to enable this extension. This research work has as contributions (i) establishing a general methodology for stability analysis of electric power systems on time scales and (ii) the extent of direct methods for the analysis of stability in time-scales scales of electric power systems. Based on the theory of singularly perturbed systems, we propose a general algorithm of stability analysis in time-scales electric power systems and develop the theoretical foundations of this algorithm to validate the decomposition of stability analysis in time scales. Thus, the stability analysis of a power system can be decomposed in the stability analysis of their corresponding fast and slow subsystems of lower order. These fundamentals fill the gap that existed between the stability analysis in the short-term and mid-term and establishes a relationship between them. In particular, the quasi steady state method (QSS) for stability analysis of the mid-term scale, which presupposes that the fast dynamics are stable and transient stability analysis are particular cases of the algorithm proposed. From the fundamentals of decomposition of time scales stability analysis, the direct methods of stability analysis will be extended, in particular CUEP method initially developed for transient stability analysis, for the mid-term stability problem via time-scale analysis. This extension is important because the direct methods are fast, and enable the development of voltage stability analysis techniques that are suitable for real time applications. The proposed methodology was tested in small power systems with good results in the evaluation of operating times of the control and protection equipment, also providing a better understanding of the stabilization mechanisms of the analyzed power systems.
