Voltage Stability Assessment: Concepts, Practices and Tools

This publication, which has taken several years of preparation by a large number of international experts, is directed to researchers and practitioners who have a general interest or are actively working in the area of voltage stability assessment (VSA) of power systems. The document covers all aspects of VSA, from basic theoretical concepts and general industry and research practices, to a detailed description of some of the tools and software packages currently used for the study of VSA. Various simple as well as realistic illustrative examples are used to demonstrate the various VSA concepts, analysis techniques and practical studies discussed throughout the document.
