Resumo

The power system load margin is an index that provides information on how far the system is from a case of instability. Usually, this load margin is calculated considering voltage stability requirements but low frequency oscillation modes with low damping rates, a field of study in small-signal stability, can also compromise the proper operation of power systems and so should be considered in calculating the load margin. This paper proposes a method based on artificial neural networks (ANN) using synchronized data provided by Phasor Measurement Units to monitor the load margin of systems meeting voltage stability and small-signal stability requirements. Furthermore, a Genetic Algorithm-based approach is used to select a reduced number of buses for the ANN input layer. Results of applications of the proposed method show the applicability for real-time monitoring of the load margin. Copyright (c) 2022. The Authors.
