The load margin due to voltage instability and small-signal instability can be a valuable measure for the operator of the power system to ensure a continuous and safe supply of electricity. However, if this load margin was calculated without considering system operating requirements, then this margin may not be adequate. This article proposes an algorithm capable of providing the power system load margin considering the requirements of voltage stability, small-signal stability, and operational requirements, as limits of reactive power generation of synchronous generators in dynamic security assessment. Case studies were conducted in the 107-bus reduced order Brazilian system considering a list of contingencies and directions of load growth.

In operation centers, it is important to know the power transfer limit to guarantee the safety operation of the power system. The Voltage Stability Margin (VSM) is a widely used measure and needs to definition of a load growth direction (LGD) to be computed. However, different definitions of LGD can provide different VSMs and then the VSM may not be reliable. Besides, the measure of this power transfer limit usually is related to the Saddle-Node Bifurcation. In dynamic security assessment (DSA) is highly desirable to identify limit regions where the power system can operate safely due to Hopf (HB) and Saddle-Node (SNB) Bifurcations. This paper presents a modeling of the power system incorporating the LGD variation based on participation factors to evaluate the effects on the stability margin estimation due to HB and SNB. A direct method is used to calculate the stability margin of the power system for a given load direction. The analysis was performed in the IEEE 39 bus system.
