Abstract (EN): This paper presents a new method for the detection of the point of collapse and a new index for the definition of the distance of the voltage collapse point. Performance index to detect and predict stability problems such as the voltage collapse have been a permanent concern for researchers and technical staff in power systems operation. This index can be used on-line or off-line to help operators determine how close the system is to a possible collapse and is a useful analysis tool for planning in power systems too. Numerical experiments using standard IEEE 14 and 57 bus systems show that the proposed method can compute the voltage collapse point using several different scenery of load increase or line outages. The methodology proposed may be easily implemented in any power flow program.
