Análise de sensibilidade da margem de carregamento em sistemas elétricos de potência: um estudo comparativo

Abstract

This work presents a comparative study on the evaluation of the sensitivity of loading margin with respect to different electric system parameters, without the necessity of solving this problem by the conventional form using the continuation power flow or the point of collapse method. Therefore, a gain in the time response to the disturbances is obtained, making possible more efficient corrective and preventive control actions. As the sensitivity analysis has a great importance voltage stability studies, it is necessary to develop new methodologies and the evaluation of the existing ones, in order to make possible a more efficient and reliable operation analysis of the electrical power system due to the variations of its parameters. In this context, this work presents a new mathematical model for the sensitivity analysis using the power flow equations with the voltages in rectangular coordinates, and establishes a comparative process with the conventional model expressed in terms of power flow equations with the voltages in polar coordinates. The results provided by the sensitivity analysis are then compared with the actual results yielded by the point of collapse method. IEEE test systems and a South-Southeastern Brazilian network are used in the simulation of the results.
