Abstract

The paper is devoted to the analysis of the feasibility domain of electric power systems. The problems of calculating feasible and marginal regimes of power systems, analyzing the geometry of the feasibility domain, and generating samples in this region are considered. Parallels are drawn with the works of B.T. Polyak on the analysis of the image of a quadratic map, modification of the Newton method and the development of methods for generating asymptotically uniform samples in areas with complex geometry. Particular attention is paid to Newton’s method with the transversality condition (TENR), its application for constructing a boundary oracle procedure and utilization for generating samples in the power system feasibility domain.
