Abstract

The most widely used index for the vulnerable area investigation has been the reactive power margin or sensitivity analysis. But we can only obtain the results of these analyses if the results of load flow are convergent in severe contingencies. Otherwise these methods are not adoptable. This paper presents a good index for overcoming severe contingencies, though the power flow equation is unsolvable using the branch parameter continuation power flow. In simulation, the Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) Systems are applied.
