Abstract

Voltage collapse is one of the main threats in power system operation and it is a result of a very low voltage profile in one or multiple areas in the power system network. Hence, the need for proper coordination among transmission and generator operators to maintain voltage stability if of paramount importance. In this paper, the different voltage and reactive power operating guidelines and criteria of various electric reliability councils, coordinating councils, transmission system operators and other electric utilities are discussed. Among these are NERC, ENTSO-E, WECC, PJM and ERCOT. A comprehensive comparison is also made to the existing Korean power system voltage reliability guidelines. Furthermore, this paper presents a set of voltage and reactive power guidelines that can help in determining voltage limits that can improve the reliability of the Korean power system operation.
