  • Publication number: 20200410145
    Abstract: A method for calculating a voltage stability margin of a power system considering electric-gas system coupling is provided. The method includes: establishing constraint equations for stable and secure operation of an electric-gas coupling system; establishing a continuous energy flow model of the electric-gas coupling system using a load margin index ? based on a correlation between an electric load of the power system and a natural gas load of the natural gas system; setting inequality constraints for the stable and secure operation of the electric-gas coupling system based on the limits of pressure and gas supply amount of the natural gas system; and solving the energy flow equation established based on the constraints and the continuous energy flow model to obtain the voltage stability margin of the power system considering electric-gas system coupling.
