✦ Synopsis

In this paper a new method for analysing the voltage stability problem in electric power systems is presented. The approach starts with a linearized model in state space form of a multi-machine power system, then rigorous voltage stability conditions are derived on the basis of a suitable aggregated model of the original system capable of retaining the dynamics of voltages at generator and load nodes.

The approach allows a systematic individualization of all the dynamic factors which affect voltage instability phenomena and suggests the appropriate representation which has to be adopted for each dynamic component of the system.

The validity and usefulness of the suggested method are illustrated by carrying out simulation studies on a sample power system.
