16. complex network dynamics: voltage collapse
17. Voltage collapse in power networks reactive power instability: loading > capacity ⇒ voltages drop recent outages: Qu´ ebec ’96, Northeast ’03, Scandinavia ’03, Athens ’04 “Voltage collapse is still the biggest single threat to the transmission sys- tem. It’s what keeps me awake at night.” – Phil Harris, CEO PJM. 10 / 22
18. Voltage collapse on the back of an envelope reactive power balance at load: voltage Esource Eload B Qload (fixed) (variable) Eload Esource 0 Qload * * * * reactive power Qload = B Eload ( Eload Esource ) ∃ high load voltage solution ⇔ (load) < (network)(source voltage)2/4 11 / 22
