Abstract

In new open access environment, power systems tend to operate more closer to security boundaries and as a consequence, the voltage instability, which is caused by insufficient reactive power supply, poses a serious threat to system security and reliability. Establishing an equitable and effective reactive power market with consideration of the voltage security problem is very important to provide a reliable power system. In this paper, an OPF optimization problem is formulated to incorporate the voltage security and reactive power cost minimization and then solved by the Sequential Quadratic Programming (SQP). The effectiveness of the proposed method is then verified using a modified IEEE 14-bus system. A study on the effects of the voltage stability margin requirement under normal condition and contingencies on the reactive power cost is also presented.
