Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesElectric Power System Under-Voltage Load Shedding Protection Can Become a TrapLuiz Augusto Pereira Fernandes, Alexandre Rocco, Heraldo Silveira Barbuy, Geraldo Caixeta GuimarãesProblem statement: Under-Voltage Load Shedding (UVLS) protection of Electric Power Systems (EPS) is frequently used against Voltage Collapse (VC), however when there is automatic bus voltage regulation with excessive capacitive compensation, the UVLS scheme may not trip. In this case, load shedding must be based in a Voltage Collapse Proximity Indicator (VCPI). Many UVLS procedures may not be appropriate today. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2009 · 7,203 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesVoltage Collapse Risk Associated to Under-Voltage Capacitive Compensation in Electric Power System OperationHeraldo Silveira Barbuy, Alexandre Rocco, Luiz Augusto Pereira Fernandes, Geraldo Caixeta GuimarãesProblem statement: In the operation of an Electric Power System (EPS), it has been usual to provide reactive power injection to avoid an under-voltage bus condition. In some situations an adequate voltage profile will not be a guarantee against Voltage Collapses (VCs) that may cause blackouts as seen in many occurrences around the world. The repeatedly injection of reactive power … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,253 accessesView PDF Cite
