CONCLUSIONCONCLUSION Three key concepts of voltage stability are the load
characteristics as seen from the bulk power network, the available means for voltage control at generators and in the network the ability of network to transfer power particularly reactive power from the point of production to the point of consumption.
Voltage stability depens on the relationship beween Q-U-P.
The network element characteristics have important influences on system stability.
The fundamental causes of voltage instability is identified as incapability of combined transmission and generation system to meet excessive load demand in either real power or reactive power form.
