Analytical and impedance matrix approach to stochastic assessment of voltage sags on transmission networks

Abstract

Stochastic assessment is a method to predict the severity and number of voltage sags at a bus of interest in the transmission network. In this paper, a technique using impedance matrix for stochastic assessment was developed to predict the voltage magnitudes due to faults at any bus in the electrical network. The proposed technique was applied to IEE 24- bus electrical network to illustrate its application. The results show that the proposed technique is able to compute the predicted voltage magnitude at any bus and the number of sags per year. ©2009 IEEE.
