1 Introduction

In recent years the power system stability issues are promi-nent and possess more relevance due to a competitivebusiness environmentThe existing generation and transmis-sion utilities are working on their operating limits due toexponential increase in the load demand [1]

The burning issue with the modern power networks isto accommodate an escalating demand without an expansionof the transmission utilities With this constraint the voltagestability has emerged as a potential area of research Twocritical findings are carried out through stability studies Thefirst one is the assessment of the critical point of voltagestability and second area suggests preventive control throughload shedding and generator rescheduling IEEE CIGRE taskforce committee defined voltage stability as an ability of thepower system to maintain acceptable and constant voltagelevel at all buses in the system under normal conditions andafter being subjected to the disturbance [1 2] Therefore

voltage stability analysis is necessary to identify the criticalbuses in a power system

Voltage collapse is a phenomenon characterized by thegradual decrement in system voltage along with the systemoperating point Often the assessment of the voltage stabilityis carried out through the calculation of the stability indices[3ndash15] Table 1 shows the comparative study of differentindicators along with the limitations

On the basis of literature survey it can be concluded thatthe indicator for voltage stability assessment should possessthe following qualities

(a) There should be a simple correlation between theindicator and the systemrsquos controllable parameter

(b) Corrective measures can be derived from the valuesof indicator

With dynamic operating scenario the prediction of voltagecollapse through indicators is a slave of the performance

These indices are based on staticand dynamic bifurcations

(1) Bifurcations can be detected through the calculation ofeigenvalues Eigenvalues are system specific and vulnerable totopological changes(2) These indicators cannot be useful for loadability marginevaluation and relative voltage stability determination

of load flow routine and accuracy of the calculation ofderivatives and Jacobian matrices It is to be noted herethat the prediction of the voltage stability under unseenoperating condition or contingency cannot be efficientlyexecuted within a safe time limit Hence the initiation of anypreventive or emergency control strategy is not possibleWiththe development of the smart grid efficient technologiesare invited by the operators to participate in the processof operation and control of the power system With thismotivation the paper presents an application of RBFNapproach for online monitoring of voltage stability

A network equivalence framework to predict the globalscenario of voltage stability is developed by reducing theactual system into an equivalent two-bus system The GVSM[3] is used for indicating the state of the actual system Allthe parameters of the equivalent system are obtained fromthe load flow solution of the original system This equivalentsystem is nothing but a power line having series equivalentimpedance with a load at the receiving end but the sendingend voltage is kept at the reference voltage The concept ofsingle line equivalent is further used to determine the voltagecollapse proximity

In this paper RBFN network of the ANN family isemployed to predict the GVSM for various system operatingloading The proposed online scheme has the ability to getit adapted when subjected to any new and unseen operatingcondition

This scheme is validated on standard IEEE 14-bus 30-busand 118-bus power systems The following are the researchobjectives of this manuscript

(a) To present the mathematical framework of GVSMand calculate the GVSM for IEEE 14-bus 30-bus and118-bus test system

(b) To develop a supervised learning prediction enginewith the help of offline simulation results to identifythe GVSM for different system operating loading

(c) To present a meaningful comparison between differ-ent ANN topologies as a predictor and analyze theefficacy of the supervised learning prediction enginein the presence of AWGN

The remaining part of the paper is presented as follows inSections 2 and 3mathematical work of GVSM is presented InSection 4 brief details of proposed RBFN are incorporatedIn Section 5 simulation results are presented and finally inSection 6 the conclusion and future scope of the work arepresented

2 Equivalent Two-Bus Pi-Network

The equivalent two-bus pi-network model is developed asfollows Let us assume a two-bus equivalent network inwhicha generator bus is assumed as a sending end bus and a load busis assumed as a receiving end bus as shown in Figure 1 Thebehavior and properties of the proposed two-bus equivalentmodel should be the same as the multibus network Hencethis makes the evaluation of voltage stability possible [3]Therefore the power equations for the two-bus equivalentnetwork can be written as

119878g = 119875g + 119895119876g = slowast

4 RBF Neural Network Architecture

The RBFN is a feedforward neural network which consistsof an input layer one hidden layer and one output layer

The value of neurons of the input layer feeds in the hiddenlayer a hidden layer which holds each neuron with radialbasis activation function and an output layer which holdseach neuron with a linear activation function The initiatingcentre width for RBF units and computing weights forconnecters are combined to make a learning process forRBF neural network [17] The idea about RBFN comes outfrom the theory of function approximation According to thistheory there are two layers of feedforward network and aset of radial basis functions implemented by hidden nodeThe Gaussian function is normally used in it The linearsummation function as in a Multilayer Perceptron (MLP)is implemented by the output nodes The network trainingis divided into two stages in the first stage weights aredetermined from input to hidden layer and in the secondstage weights are determined from hidden layer to outputlayer This makes interpolation very effective

For the training of ANN the input data sets are generatedfrom offline N-R load flow analysis by varying both realand reactive loads at all the buses randomly of their basecase value In data collection the input data are divided intothree categories namely train data validation data and testdata NR load flow analysis is conducted at all steps andcorresponding GVSM is calculated The real and reactivepower loads on buses are considered as input features forbuilding up the supervised learning models Total 236 inputsfor IEEE 118-bus system 60 inputs for IEEE 30-bus systemand 28 inputs for IEEE 14-bus system are taken By NRmethod GVSM of each line is obtained and the minimumvalues out of 358 for IEEE 118-bus system out of 82 forIEEE 30-bus systems and out of 40 for IEEE 14-bus systemsare taken as output Total 1000 samples are also generatedby offline N-R load flow analysis method 70 data of thesamples are used for training 20 data for validation and10 data for testing

tend and CVI becomes higher The prediction capability ofall the networks is verified by the offline N-R method Fromthis analysis it is concluded that RBFN is a suitable topologyto identify the critical buses in IEEE 14-bus test system

Table 2 gives the GVSM at unknown system operatingloading incorporating AWGN of different signal-to-noiseratios (SNRs) Presence of AWGN is a close replica ofmeasurement errors and presence of harmonic loads andelectronic measurement devices At SNR 05 and 005 forunknown loading the efficacy of RBFN is better than othernetworks as can be observed in Table 2 RBFN and CFBtopologies of ANN give the better results Apart from thisthe results from the FFBP networks GR networks LRnetworks NARX networks ELMAN and FFDTD networksare satisfactory

52 Case Study of IEEE 30-Bus Test System To validate theproposed approach three operating scenarios are considered

Case 1 It is near the base case (where the load busesare having the nominal values of real and reactive powerloading)

Case 2 It is medium operating load (increase of the systemoperating load by 189 pu)

Case 3 It is high system operating load (increase of thesystem operating load by 27 pu from base case)

Figures 9ndash13 give the GVSM and CVI for the above-mentioned operating cases

It is observed that the values of GVSM and CVI predictedby FFBP and RBFN fall in a close range and the predictionsare validated by the offline N-R method It is observed thatthe prediction accuracy of RBFN is higher For each scenariofour intermediate random loading conditions are consideredand shown on the 119909-axis of Figures 9ndash13 In Case 3 after acontinuous increase in the system operating load the systemhas reached near the point of collapse The values of GVSMtend to zero NR (0204596) FFBP (0279588) and RBFN(0204486) From this analysis it is concluded that RBFN isa suitable topology to identify the critical buses in IEEE 30-bus test system

In Table 3 different unseen operating loading conditionsare simulated and it is observed that the value of GVSM givenby RBFN is the nearest value of GVSM given by the N-Roffline method as compared to other networks

53 Case Study of IEEE 118-Bus Test System To validate theproposed approach three operating scenarios are considered

Case 1 It is near the base case (where the load busesare having the nominal values of real and reactive powerloading)

Case 2 It is medium load (increase of the system operatingload by 090 pu from base case) that is it is half of the highsystem operating loading

Case 3 It is high system operating load (increase of thesystem operating load by 177 pu from base case)

Figures 14ndash18 give the GVSM and CVI for the above-mentioned three cases

As previously observed the prediction capability ofRBFN is better in comparison to FFBP The same can beverified through the offline NR simulation results For eachscenario four intermediate random loading conditions areconsidered and shown on the 119909-axis of Figures 14ndash18 It isinteresting to observe that with the increment of the load thatis for Case 3 the system has collapsed Hence it is giving thenegative values of GVSM

Table 4 gives the GVSM at unknown system operatingload incorporating normal as well as noisy operating condi-tions At SNR 05 and 005 for unknown loading the efficacyof RBFN is better than other networks The increment of the

the values of CVI is observed with the increase inoperating load

(2) In case of pi-equivalent models the variation ofCVI is mainly dependent on the values of parameter119860 The values of ldquo119860rdquo parameter are system specificand depend on systemrsquos parameters (susceptance andimpedance) With the change in operating conditionsthese values are changed For IEEE 14-bus system thevalues of CVIs are around 0513 near base load 054near medium load and 065 at heavy loading Simi-larly for IEEE 30-bus system the values of CVIs are051 for nominal loading 053 for medium loadingand 0584 for heavy loading For IEEE 118-bus testsystem the values of CVIs are comparatively high ascompared to the small test systems For high loading(Case 3) system has reached to the point of collapseValues of CVIs are nearly equal to 1 in this case After

observing these values it can be concluded that pointof collapse is dependent on system parameters

of load flow routine and accuracy of the calculation ofderivatives and Jacobian matrices It is to be noted herethat the prediction of the voltage stability under unseenoperating condition or contingency cannot be efficientlyexecuted within a safe time limit Hence the initiation of anypreventive or emergency control strategy is not possibleWiththe development of the smart grid efficient technologiesare invited by the operators to participate in the processof operation and control of the power system With thismotivation the paper presents an application of RBFNapproach for online monitoring of voltage stability

A network equivalence framework to predict the globalscenario of voltage stability is developed by reducing theactual system into an equivalent two-bus system The GVSM[3] is used for indicating the state of the actual system Allthe parameters of the equivalent system are obtained fromthe load flow solution of the original system This equivalentsystem is nothing but a power line having series equivalentimpedance with a load at the receiving end but the sendingend voltage is kept at the reference voltage The concept ofsingle line equivalent is further used to determine the voltagecollapse proximity

In this paper RBFN network of the ANN family isemployed to predict the GVSM for various system operatingloading The proposed online scheme has the ability to getit adapted when subjected to any new and unseen operatingcondition

This scheme is validated on standard IEEE 14-bus 30-busand 118-bus power systems The following are the researchobjectives of this manuscript

(a) To present the mathematical framework of GVSMand calculate the GVSM for IEEE 14-bus 30-bus and118-bus test system

(b) To develop a supervised learning prediction enginewith the help of offline simulation results to identifythe GVSM for different system operating loading

(c) To present a meaningful comparison between differ-ent ANN topologies as a predictor and analyze theefficacy of the supervised learning prediction enginein the presence of AWGN

The remaining part of the paper is presented as follows inSections 2 and 3mathematical work of GVSM is presented InSection 4 brief details of proposed RBFN are incorporatedIn Section 5 simulation results are presented and finally inSection 6 the conclusion and future scope of the work arepresented

2 Equivalent Two-Bus Pi-Network

The equivalent two-bus pi-network model is developed asfollows Let us assume a two-bus equivalent network inwhicha generator bus is assumed as a sending end bus and a load busis assumed as a receiving end bus as shown in Figure 1 Thebehavior and properties of the proposed two-bus equivalentmodel should be the same as the multibus network Hencethis makes the evaluation of voltage stability possible [3]Therefore the power equations for the two-bus equivalentnetwork can be written as

119878g = 119875g + 119895119876g = slowast

4 RBF Neural Network Architecture

The RBFN is a feedforward neural network which consistsof an input layer one hidden layer and one output layer

The value of neurons of the input layer feeds in the hiddenlayer a hidden layer which holds each neuron with radialbasis activation function and an output layer which holdseach neuron with a linear activation function The initiatingcentre width for RBF units and computing weights forconnecters are combined to make a learning process forRBF neural network [17] The idea about RBFN comes outfrom the theory of function approximation According to thistheory there are two layers of feedforward network and aset of radial basis functions implemented by hidden nodeThe Gaussian function is normally used in it The linearsummation function as in a Multilayer Perceptron (MLP)is implemented by the output nodes The network trainingis divided into two stages in the first stage weights aredetermined from input to hidden layer and in the secondstage weights are determined from hidden layer to outputlayer This makes interpolation very effective

For the training of ANN the input data sets are generatedfrom offline N-R load flow analysis by varying both realand reactive loads at all the buses randomly of their basecase value In data collection the input data are divided intothree categories namely train data validation data and testdata NR load flow analysis is conducted at all steps andcorresponding GVSM is calculated The real and reactivepower loads on buses are considered as input features forbuilding up the supervised learning models Total 236 inputsfor IEEE 118-bus system 60 inputs for IEEE 30-bus systemand 28 inputs for IEEE 14-bus system are taken By NRmethod GVSM of each line is obtained and the minimumvalues out of 358 for IEEE 118-bus system out of 82 forIEEE 30-bus systems and out of 40 for IEEE 14-bus systemsare taken as output Total 1000 samples are also generatedby offline N-R load flow analysis method 70 data of thesamples are used for training 20 data for validation and10 data for testing

the values of CVI is observed with the increase inoperating load

(2) In case of pi-equivalent models the variation ofCVI is mainly dependent on the values of parameter119860 The values of ldquo119860rdquo parameter are system specificand depend on systemrsquos parameters (susceptance andimpedance) With the change in operating conditionsthese values are changed For IEEE 14-bus system thevalues of CVIs are around 0513 near base load 054near medium load and 065 at heavy loading Simi-larly for IEEE 30-bus system the values of CVIs are051 for nominal loading 053 for medium loadingand 0584 for heavy loading For IEEE 118-bus testsystem the values of CVIs are comparatively high ascompared to the small test systems For high loading(Case 3) system has reached to the point of collapseValues of CVIs are nearly equal to 1 in this case After

observing these values it can be concluded that pointof collapse is dependent on system parameters

4 RBF Neural Network Architecture

The RBFN is a feedforward neural network which consistsof an input layer one hidden layer and one output layer

The value of neurons of the input layer feeds in the hiddenlayer a hidden layer which holds each neuron with radialbasis activation function and an output layer which holdseach neuron with a linear activation function The initiatingcentre width for RBF units and computing weights forconnecters are combined to make a learning process forRBF neural network [17] The idea about RBFN comes outfrom the theory of function approximation According to thistheory there are two layers of feedforward network and aset of radial basis functions implemented by hidden nodeThe Gaussian function is normally used in it The linearsummation function as in a Multilayer Perceptron (MLP)is implemented by the output nodes The network trainingis divided into two stages in the first stage weights aredetermined from input to hidden layer and in the secondstage weights are determined from hidden layer to outputlayer This makes interpolation very effective

For the training of ANN the input data sets are generatedfrom offline N-R load flow analysis by varying both realand reactive loads at all the buses randomly of their basecase value In data collection the input data are divided intothree categories namely train data validation data and testdata NR load flow analysis is conducted at all steps andcorresponding GVSM is calculated The real and reactivepower loads on buses are considered as input features forbuilding up the supervised learning models Total 236 inputsfor IEEE 118-bus system 60 inputs for IEEE 30-bus systemand 28 inputs for IEEE 14-bus system are taken By NRmethod GVSM of each line is obtained and the minimumvalues out of 358 for IEEE 118-bus system out of 82 forIEEE 30-bus systems and out of 40 for IEEE 14-bus systemsare taken as output Total 1000 samples are also generatedby offline N-R load flow analysis method 70 data of thesamples are used for training 20 data for validation and10 data for testing

4 RBF Neural Network Architecture

The RBFN is a feedforward neural network which consistsof an input layer one hidden layer and one output layer

The value of neurons of the input layer feeds in the hiddenlayer a hidden layer which holds each neuron with radialbasis activation function and an output layer which holdseach neuron with a linear activation function The initiatingcentre width for RBF units and computing weights forconnecters are combined to make a learning process forRBF neural network [17] The idea about RBFN comes outfrom the theory of function approximation According to thistheory there are two layers of feedforward network and aset of radial basis functions implemented by hidden nodeThe Gaussian function is normally used in it The linearsummation function as in a Multilayer Perceptron (MLP)is implemented by the output nodes The network trainingis divided into two stages in the first stage weights aredetermined from input to hidden layer and in the secondstage weights are determined from hidden layer to outputlayer This makes interpolation very effective

For the training of ANN the input data sets are generatedfrom offline N-R load flow analysis by varying both realand reactive loads at all the buses randomly of their basecase value In data collection the input data are divided intothree categories namely train data validation data and testdata NR load flow analysis is conducted at all steps andcorresponding GVSM is calculated The real and reactivepower loads on buses are considered as input features forbuilding up the supervised learning models Total 236 inputsfor IEEE 118-bus system 60 inputs for IEEE 30-bus systemand 28 inputs for IEEE 14-bus system are taken By NRmethod GVSM of each line is obtained and the minimumvalues out of 358 for IEEE 118-bus system out of 82 forIEEE 30-bus systems and out of 40 for IEEE 14-bus systemsare taken as output Total 1000 samples are also generatedby offline N-R load flow analysis method 70 data of thesamples are used for training 20 data for validation and10 data for testing

Case 1 It is near the base case (where the load busesare having the nominal values of real and reactive powerloading)

Case 2 It is medium load (increase of the system operatingload by 090 pu from base case) that is it is half of the highsystem operating loading

system load in small and equidistant steps makes the valueof GVSM lower with every step Negative values of GVSMare the indication of collapse The simulation results of thevoltage stability analysis using proposed technique give betteraccuracy and reliability

Discussions

(1) It is empirical to judge that the value of CVI isminimum when 120575 + 120572 asymp 0 The value of 119860 is one fortransmission networks From this it can be concludedthat the minimum value of CVI is equal to 05 Withthe increment in system load increment in the valuesof CVI will be observed For IEEE 14-bus system theCVI observed for Case 3 scenario 4 reached up to066 The high values of CVI are an indication ofstress on lines Similar patterns are observed for IEEE30-bus and IEEE 118-bus system Gradual increase in

the values of CVI is observed with the increase inoperating load

(2) In case of pi-equivalent models the variation ofCVI is mainly dependent on the values of parameter119860 The values of ldquo119860rdquo parameter are system specificand depend on systemrsquos parameters (susceptance andimpedance) With the change in operating conditionsthese values are changed For IEEE 14-bus system thevalues of CVIs are around 0513 near base load 054near medium load and 065 at heavy loading Simi-larly for IEEE 30-bus system the values of CVIs are051 for nominal loading 053 for medium loadingand 0584 for heavy loading For IEEE 118-bus testsystem the values of CVIs are comparatively high ascompared to the small test systems For high loading(Case 3) system has reached to the point of collapseValues of CVIs are nearly equal to 1 in this case After

observing these values it can be concluded that pointof collapse is dependent on system parameters

Figures 3ndash8 show theGVSM andCVI for IEEE 14-bus testsystem for three operating scenarios Different intermediateloading conditions are incorporated to show the predictionefficacy of the supervised learning models For each scenariofour intermediate random loading conditions are consideredand shown on the 119909-axis of Figures 3ndash8 Due to spacelimitations detailed values of Jacobian matrices and CVIs areprovided in the form of Supplementary Material availableonline at httpdxdoiorg10115520164858431

For Case 1 it is observed that the values of GVSM andCVI predicted by FFBP and RBFN fall in a secure range Inother words near the base case the value of GVSM is higherfor the system and the values of CVIs are lower These valuesare validated by the offline N-R method It is also observedthat the prediction accuracy of RBFN is higher than FFBPIn Case 2 a considerable amount of decrease in numericalvalues of GVSM and increase in the CVI are observed by allprediction methods For Case 3 after a continuous increasein the system operating load the system has approached thepoint of collapse The values of GVSM possess a decreasing

Table 2 gives the GVSM at unknown system operatingloading incorporating AWGN of different signal-to-noiseratios (SNRs) Presence of AWGN is a close replica ofmeasurement errors and presence of harmonic loads andelectronic measurement devices At SNR 05 and 005 forunknown loading the efficacy of RBFN is better than othernetworks as can be observed in Table 2 RBFN and CFBtopologies of ANN give the better results Apart from thisthe results from the FFBP networks GR networks LRnetworks NARX networks ELMAN and FFDTD networksare satisfactory

Case 1 It is near the base case (where the load busesare having the nominal values of real and reactive powerloading)

Case 2 It is medium load (increase of the system operatingload by 090 pu from base case) that is it is half of the highsystem operating loading

Figures 14ndash18 give the GVSM and CVI for the above-mentioned three cases

As previously observed the prediction capability ofRBFN is better in comparison to FFBP The same can beverified through the offline NR simulation results For eachscenario four intermediate random loading conditions areconsidered and shown on the 119909-axis of Figures 14ndash18 It isinteresting to observe that with the increment of the load thatis for Case 3 the system has collapsed Hence it is giving thenegative values of GVSM

Discussions

(1) It is empirical to judge that the value of CVI isminimum when 120575 + 120572 asymp 0 The value of 119860 is one fortransmission networks From this it can be concludedthat the minimum value of CVI is equal to 05 Withthe increment in system load increment in the valuesof CVI will be observed For IEEE 14-bus system theCVI observed for Case 3 scenario 4 reached up to066 The high values of CVI are an indication ofstress on lines Similar patterns are observed for IEEE30-bus and IEEE 118-bus system Gradual increase in

the values of CVI is observed with the increase inoperating load

(2) In case of pi-equivalent models the variation ofCVI is mainly dependent on the values of parameter119860 The values of ldquo119860rdquo parameter are system specificand depend on systemrsquos parameters (susceptance andimpedance) With the change in operating conditionsthese values are changed For IEEE 14-bus system thevalues of CVIs are around 0513 near base load 054near medium load and 065 at heavy loading Simi-larly for IEEE 30-bus system the values of CVIs are051 for nominal loading 053 for medium loadingand 0584 for heavy loading For IEEE 118-bus testsystem the values of CVIs are comparatively high ascompared to the small test systems For high loading(Case 3) system has reached to the point of collapseValues of CVIs are nearly equal to 1 in this case After

observing these values it can be concluded that pointof collapse is dependent on system parameters

Table 2 gives the GVSM at unknown system operatingloading incorporating AWGN of different signal-to-noiseratios (SNRs) Presence of AWGN is a close replica ofmeasurement errors and presence of harmonic loads andelectronic measurement devices At SNR 05 and 005 forunknown loading the efficacy of RBFN is better than othernetworks as can be observed in Table 2 RBFN and CFBtopologies of ANN give the better results Apart from thisthe results from the FFBP networks GR networks LRnetworks NARX networks ELMAN and FFDTD networksare satisfactory

52 Case Study of IEEE 30-Bus Test System To validate theproposed approach three operating scenarios are considered

Case 1 It is near the base case (where the load busesare having the nominal values of real and reactive powerloading)

Figures 9ndash13 give the GVSM and CVI for the above-mentioned operating cases

It is observed that the values of GVSM and CVI predictedby FFBP and RBFN fall in a close range and the predictionsare validated by the offline N-R method It is observed thatthe prediction accuracy of RBFN is higher For each scenariofour intermediate random loading conditions are consideredand shown on the 119909-axis of Figures 9ndash13 In Case 3 after acontinuous increase in the system operating load the systemhas reached near the point of collapse The values of GVSMtend to zero NR (0204596) FFBP (0279588) and RBFN(0204486) From this analysis it is concluded that RBFN isa suitable topology to identify the critical buses in IEEE 30-bus test system

In Table 3 different unseen operating loading conditionsare simulated and it is observed that the value of GVSM givenby RBFN is the nearest value of GVSM given by the N-Roffline method as compared to other networks

Case 1 It is near the base case (where the load busesare having the nominal values of real and reactive powerloading)

Case 2 It is medium load (increase of the system operatingload by 090 pu from base case) that is it is half of the highsystem operating loading

Figures 14ndash18 give the GVSM and CVI for the above-mentioned three cases

As previously observed the prediction capability ofRBFN is better in comparison to FFBP The same can beverified through the offline NR simulation results For eachscenario four intermediate random loading conditions areconsidered and shown on the 119909-axis of Figures 14ndash18 It isinteresting to observe that with the increment of the load thatis for Case 3 the system has collapsed Hence it is giving thenegative values of GVSM

system load in small and equidistant steps makes the valueof GVSM lower with every step Negative values of GVSMare the indication of collapse The simulation results of thevoltage stability analysis using proposed technique give betteraccuracy and reliability

Discussions

(1) It is empirical to judge that the value of CVI isminimum when 120575 + 120572 asymp 0 The value of 119860 is one fortransmission networks From this it can be concludedthat the minimum value of CVI is equal to 05 Withthe increment in system load increment in the valuesof CVI will be observed For IEEE 14-bus system theCVI observed for Case 3 scenario 4 reached up to066 The high values of CVI are an indication ofstress on lines Similar patterns are observed for IEEE30-bus and IEEE 118-bus system Gradual increase in

the values of CVI is observed with the increase inoperating load

(2) In case of pi-equivalent models the variation ofCVI is mainly dependent on the values of parameter119860 The values of ldquo119860rdquo parameter are system specificand depend on systemrsquos parameters (susceptance andimpedance) With the change in operating conditionsthese values are changed For IEEE 14-bus system thevalues of CVIs are around 0513 near base load 054near medium load and 065 at heavy loading Simi-larly for IEEE 30-bus system the values of CVIs are051 for nominal loading 053 for medium loadingand 0584 for heavy loading For IEEE 118-bus testsystem the values of CVIs are comparatively high ascompared to the small test systems For high loading(Case 3) system has reached to the point of collapseValues of CVIs are nearly equal to 1 in this case After

observing these values it can be concluded that pointof collapse is dependent on system parameters

53 Case Study of IEEE 118-Bus Test System To validate theproposed approach three operating scenarios are considered

Case 1 It is near the base case (where the load busesare having the nominal values of real and reactive powerloading)

Case 2 It is medium load (increase of the system operatingload by 090 pu from base case) that is it is half of the highsystem operating loading

Case 3 It is high system operating load (increase of thesystem operating load by 177 pu from base case)

Figures 14ndash18 give the GVSM and CVI for the above-mentioned three cases

As previously observed the prediction capability ofRBFN is better in comparison to FFBP The same can beverified through the offline NR simulation results For eachscenario four intermediate random loading conditions areconsidered and shown on the 119909-axis of Figures 14ndash18 It isinteresting to observe that with the increment of the load thatis for Case 3 the system has collapsed Hence it is giving thenegative values of GVSM

Table 4 gives the GVSM at unknown system operatingload incorporating normal as well as noisy operating condi-tions At SNR 05 and 005 for unknown loading the efficacyof RBFN is better than other networks The increment of the

Prediction of GVSM and CVI by different neuralnetwork topologies is validated through offline NRmethod

(b) The main advantage of the proposed method is thatit indicates a good agreement between target data (N-R) and RBFN output Prediction accuracy of RBFN isbest as compared with other topologies of ANN

(c) The proposed approach provides fast computationof GVSM Operator can analyze severity of anyunknown load pattern by using this supervised learn-ing approach

(d) Prediction accuracy of RBFN is best It is validated byintroduction of AWGN in the system with differentlevels of SNR

Application of Support Vector Machine (SVM) in voltagestability assessment lies in the scope of the future work

the values of CVI is observed with the increase inoperating load

(2) In case of pi-equivalent models the variation ofCVI is mainly dependent on the values of parameter119860 The values of ldquo119860rdquo parameter are system specificand depend on systemrsquos parameters (susceptance andimpedance) With the change in operating conditionsthese values are changed For IEEE 14-bus system thevalues of CVIs are around 0513 near base load 054near medium load and 065 at heavy loading Simi-larly for IEEE 30-bus system the values of CVIs are051 for nominal loading 053 for medium loadingand 0584 for heavy loading For IEEE 118-bus testsystem the values of CVIs are comparatively high ascompared to the small test systems For high loading(Case 3) system has reached to the point of collapseValues of CVIs are nearly equal to 1 in this case After

observing these values it can be concluded that pointof collapse is dependent on system parameters

6 Conclusion

The paper proposes an online assessment of voltage stabilityfor multimachine networks with the application of RBFNAn equivalent two-bus pi-network model is developed forassessment of voltage stability for multibus power systemswhere series and shunt parameters of transmission lines arelumped separately in the formof series and shunt equivalentsGVSM is used to assess the voltage instability or in otherwords to assess the proximity of the existing system state fromvoltage collapse the following are the major highlights of thiswork

(a) GVSM for the given power system networks arecalculated to judge the health of the power system

Prediction of GVSM and CVI by different neuralnetwork topologies is validated through offline NRmethod

(b) The main advantage of the proposed method is thatit indicates a good agreement between target data (N-R) and RBFN output Prediction accuracy of RBFN isbest as compared with other topologies of ANN

(c) The proposed approach provides fast computationof GVSM Operator can analyze severity of anyunknown load pattern by using this supervised learn-ing approach

(d) Prediction accuracy of RBFN is best It is validated byintroduction of AWGN in the system with differentlevels of SNR

Application of Support Vector Machine (SVM) in voltagestability assessment lies in the scope of the future work
