Reactive power plays a crucial role in power system operation and voltage management. However reactive power issues have rarely been considered in reliability evaluation of power systems. This paper investigates the effect of reactive power on reliability of the 220kV Taiyuan Power System in Shanxi Province of China. Reactive power shortage and the associated voltage violations due to the failures of reactive power sources have been considered in the studies. The results provide system planners and operators very important practical information for voltage and reactive power management.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
