Development of an energy function reflecting the transfer conductances for direct stability analysis in power systems

Direct stability analysis using an energy function has been widely used for angular and voltage stability analysis in electric power systems. Considerable efforts have concentrated on seeking energy functions for lossy power systems, accomplished only for the simple two-bus system. A new approach is presented to derive an energy function by using the complex integral of bus current equations with respect to bus voltages. Under an assumption that all transmission lines have a uniform R/X ratio, it is shown that the energy function can be developed for multimachine power systems with losses. The proposed energy function is tested on sample systems by comparing the time simulation method, which shows the validity of the proposed method
