Abstract

Due to the growth of electric power demand and the intricacy of modern distribution system structure, the voltage stability issue is evolving as a critical problem in distribution grids. Therefore, it is imperative to investigate the corrective measures. In this paper, artificial neural network (ANN) based voltage stability online monitoring approach for distribution systems with distribution generators (DGs) is proposed. The proposed technique employs a local voltage stability index known as the stability index (SI) to identify the weak bus information, which is more effective compared to the conventional load margin techniques. Furthermore, the nonlinear relationship of the distribution grid control status and the resultant SI is mapped using ANN. From the installed distribution-level phasor measurement units (PMUs), the state parameters of buses can be obtained, and the resultant values of SI can be estimated. This approach can significantly enhance the computational speed of SI and evaluate the voltage stability measurement of distribution network in real-time, which assist the operator of the network in order to determine the operational condition and execute actions quickly. The proposed approach is applied on the modified IEEE 33 and IEEE 69-bus system with DGs. It is found that the computation time needed for assessment of voltage stability by CPF method is 16.2500 s and 21.8872 s whilst the computation time needed for the proposed method for the same assessment is 0.0677 s and 0.0749 s respectively for modified IEEE 33 and IEEE 69-bus system. This demonstrates that the proposed method has high accuracy and efficacy.
