Summary So far, several line stability indices have been introduced and used for evaluating voltage stability status of power systems. The objective of this paper is to propose a comprehensive assessment of these indices and also to propose a modified line stability index to accurately assess the stability status of networks in different situations. To this purpose, the performance of several line indices at different conditions is analyzed. Also, to categorize system states to normal, alert, and emergency, proper thresholds are proposed for these indices. It will be shown that although line indices are able to properly assess the stability of a two‐bus system, they cannot detect the stability status in real networks. Therefore, a modified index has been proposed, which can accurately assess the stability status of power systems. The static and dynamic simulation results performed in the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineer (IEEE) 39‐ and 118‐bus test systems verify the performance of the proposed index.
