This paper presents a power transfer capability calculation algorithm considering the closest saddle node bifurcation for voltage stability margin. In this method, voltage stability margin constraints considering the closest saddle node bifurcation are incorporated into a power transfer capability formulation to guarantee adequate voltage security levels in an interconnected power system. The proposed method is applied to IEEE-24 reliability test system and the results show the effectiveness of the method.
