Abstract

Frequent voltage instabilities in modern power systems are now a concern for power system operators. Voltage stability of power systems can be studied using static and dynamic analyses, based on which voltage stability margins including static boundaries such as maximum loadability and dynamic boundaries such as bifurcation points can be achieved.  However, today, with the increasing consumption of electrical energy in power systems, the discussion of voltage stability prediction has become significant. In this paper, using the multilayer neural network of perceptron and a combination of time-domain simulation analyzes, bifurcation analysis, and modal analysis, the dynamic margin of voltage stability based on the Hopf bifurcation boundary was predicted. In this regard, in order to increase the accuracy and speed of training and testing the neural network in predicting the dynamic margin of voltage stability, a feature selection method called mutual information theory was used. The proposed algorithm was investigated on a standard 14-bus test system; and the effect of various static models of power system loads including constant power loads, constant current, and constant impedance were examined.
