Abstract | ||||
The voltage and VAR issues have become a significant problem in recent years. This is due to the steadily increasing power system sizes, high loading of transmission facilities and abnormal operating conditions arising from inadequate VAR balance. The problem has worsened with voltage instability that arise in mature systems. The blackout events have confirmed the importance of reactive power planning and dispatching in maintaining the security of modern power systems. An algorithm of reactive power dispatch is described which incorporates the voltage collapse proximity indicator to minimize the possibility of voltage collapse in the system. | ||||
