Validation of Voltage Instability Detection and Control Using a Real Power System Incident
This paper applies a voltage instability monitoring method based on voltage and current measurements from a transmission bus PMU on the Hellenic Interconnected System using both unstable and marginally stable scenarios, derived from the historical 12 July 2004 blackout of the Athens area.

description | This paper applies a voltage instability monitoring method based on voltage and current measurements from a transmission bus PMU on the Hellenic Interconnected System using both unstable and marginally stable scenarios, derived from the historical 12 July 2004 blackout of the Athens area. The effectiveness, selectivity and reliability of the proposed monitoring method is clearly demonstrated, allowing its integration into a System Protection Scheme with direct load shedding. It is shown that the proposed instability detection and control scheme could have prevented the voltage collapse if applied at the time of the event. |
