Stability is an important constraint in power system operation. Often trial and error heuristics are used that can be costly and imprecise. A new methodology that eliminates the need for repeated simulation to determine a transiently secure operating point is presented. The theoretical development is straightfforward: dynamic equations are converted to numerically equivalent algebraic equations...

This paper is based on material presented at the IEEE 1995 Winter Power Meeting Panel Session on Challenges to OPF, sponsored by the IEEE Working Group on Operating Economics. The paper contains a brief summary of the session followed by summaries. INTRODUCTION J.A.

In emerging electric power systems, increased transactions often lead to the situations where the system no longer remains in secure operating region. The flexible Ac transmission system (FACTS) controllers can play an important role in the power system security enhancement. However, due to high capital investment, it is necessary to locate these controllers optimally in the power system. FACTS...
