PV curve is the most widely accepted method for determining the margin of the power system state to the voltage collapse point. The repetitive power flow and continuation power flow are used to access PV curves through tracing the power flow solutions for the change of loads. Since the Minimum Jacobi matrix eigenvalue is practically close to zero at neighbor voltage collapse point, there is a restriction in order to access the voltage stability level by repetitive power flow method. This problem solved by appropriate combination of adjoins networks based on TelligentAos Theorem and conventional equations. The proposed method was tested on SWCC test Comparison ofthree method results show advantages and efficiency of the proposed method.

INTRODUCTION The Power systems are deregulated electricity markets recently and cost reduction forces system to operates ever closer to load limits and maximum capacity of equipmentAos. The stressed power networks with reduced stability margins and reduced reactive-power reserves are faced several blackouts that occurred due to voltage instability. Voltage instability has become serious concern for system operators and is the one of the most important problems that an electrical network can face when the system is heavily loaded. Several researches have been carried out in this regard. well known method based on executing a large number of power flows using conventional equations and access PV or QV curves at buses . The different approaches have been invented in order to compute the maximum load ability of power networks. Repetitive power flow (RPF) . , continuation power flow (CPF) . , . , modal analysis method . , and optimizationmethod . Conventional power flow suffers from the curse of nearing of min. eigenvalue ofjacubian to zero, , the numerical convergence and solution accuracy drastically deteriorates with problem ill-condition. CPF is based on conventional power flow equations and continuous parameter. This method adds as extra parameter to system parameters and considers an extra equation respect to continuous parameter. equations are solved with NewtonAos method. Any improper value that is choose by mistake for continuous parameter, makes it diverged. Also, in comparison with conventional method. CPF needs much more time to meet the results . Journal homepage: http://iaesjournal. com/online/index. php/IJECE IJECE ISSN: 2088-8708 Power flow solutions based on TelligentAos equations and adjoin networks discovered first time by Ferreira and Jesus that is independent to conventional jacubian matrix. This power flow same as conventional power flow is fast and accurate method . , . In this paper, a combination of conventional power flow with TelleganAos equations and adjoint systems is proposed which access to PV curves by solving the constrain of conventional method efficiently. REPETITIVE POWER FLOW In this method by calculating the PV curve ofnetwork's buses and based on load variation behavior, the margin of instability voltage can be measured. The main equation in this approach is as follows . ,)=0 . In the power network with the number of n buses Equation . can be showed as follows: P0AeOc V V G cos B sin Q0iAeOc V V G sin B cos Where P and Q are the base-case real and reactive power injections at bus i respectively. V is the voltage magnitude at bus i. Gij and Bij are the real part and imaginary parts of the network admittance between buses i and j respectively. is the angle difference between buses i and j. AEP is the proposed real generation variation at bus i. AEP and AEQ are the proposed real and reactive load variations at bus i. Finally, is the load variation parameter. Equation . are the same equations of power network which are well known as conventional equations that be solved through Newton-Raphson method and network parameters such as voltage angle and magnitude are computed by them. THE PROPOSED METHOD Equations based on TellegenAostheorem We nominate bus K parameters as V . I and S at the specific work point, and load variation as disturbance AES at bus K. The following equations are being used to calculate voltage at bus m: Real AEV Real Oc V O /(OI ))AES Im AEV Im Oc VO / OI AES Oc IO V O IO VO / IO VO The power network parameters can be achieved with solving the above equation. These equations are the main equations of network and are completely different than equations mentioned in the paragraph II. These equations are derived from famous TellegenAos equation: C iv ii=0 . With regard to adjoin circuit of power network under study . iV and iI represent the voltage and current variations of network's branches. C and are the voltage and current of corresponding adjoint circuit of power network. The program has been developed by MATLAB software using its matrix features to solve the network equations based on TellegenAos equations. AEV of any bus is calculated in separate stage . AX =e . Where: e i =1 if i=m else e i = 0 Xm is vector of parameters that are used in . Voltage of all buses can be calculated through one step with MATLAB features as follow: An Efficient Approach to Voltage Stability Evaluation using TellegenAos Equations (P. Mohammad.

RPF method calculates the last operation point and calculation will be continued by TellegenAos equations and adjoint systems. The voltage of buses will be calculated by TellegenAos equations and adjointcircuits up to voltage collapse point, thereafter by calculated system parameters. Jacobian matrix, its eigenvalues and eigenvectors will be calculated. As result. PV curves assessment will be completed. Table 1. Loads and generations of the test system. Bus no. Bus type Gen. Max.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSTIONS To verify accuracy and efficiency of proposed method, simulationscarry out on the SWCC network. Table 1 and 2 show parameters of the test system.

Figure 1, 2 and 3 show PV curves that are accessed by the RPF method and Figure 4 shows the variations of minimum Jacobian matrix eigenvalue against total load supplied by network andat total load 9 Mw, the curve reduce very fast because the reactive powers of generators 2 and 3 receive to maximum capacity and type of them in simulations change from constant voltage bus to load bus. As can be observed, the minimum Jacobianmatrix eigenvalue and maximum load that are accessed by the RPF method, respectively are 0. 0137 and 469. 2 MW.

RPF which is based on solving the conventional equations of network through Newton-Raphson method will not be converged near the voltage collapse point. CPF and proposed method solve the limitations of RPF. The proposedmethod will be converged around voltage collapse point efficiently. On the contrary of CPF approachthat removes the limitations by adding continuation parameter to conventional equations of network and two extra stages, prediction and correction, the proposed method has more computational speed and simplicity. The adjoin quantities hold important information about the system information that becomes decisive when power system is close voltage collapse point. REFERENCES
