Abstract

Voltage stability is a branch of power system stability that has developed late. In general, the research on voltage stability can be divided into three stages. In Stage I from 1940s when the first voltage stability criterion dQ/dU [1] was put forward by Malkovich, a Russian scholar, to the mid-1970s, insufficient attention was been paid to voltage stability. In Stage II from the late-1970s to the mid-1980s, attention was paid to the research on static voltage stability.
