2021. Combining Strategies to Compute the Loadability Margin in Dynamic Security Assessment of Power Systems. 2021 IEEE Power & Energy Society General Meeting (PESGM). :1–5.
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.

2020. Small-Signal Stability Analysis and Active Damping Control of DC Microgrids Integrated With Distributed Electric Springs. IEEE Transactions on Smart Grid. 11:3737–3747.
Series DC electric springs (DCESs) are a state-of-the-art demand-side management (DSM) technology with the capability to reduce energy storage requirements of DC microgrids by manipulating the power of non-critical loads (NCLs). As the stability of DC microgrids is highly prone to dynamic interactions between the system active and passive components, this study intends to conduct a comprehensive small-signal stability analysis of a community DC microgrid integrated with distributed DCESs considering the effect of destabilizing constant power loads (CPLs). For this purpose, after deriving the small-signal model of a DCES-integrated microgrid, the sensitivity of the system dominant frequency modes to variations of various physical and control parameters is evaluated by means of eigenvalue analysis. Next, an active damping control method based on virtual RC parallel impedance is proposed for series DCESs to compensate for their slow dynamic response and to provide a dynamic stabilization function within the microgrid. Furthermore, impedance-based stability analysis is utilized to study the DC microgrid expandability in terms of integration with multiple DCESs. Finally, several case studies are presented to verify analytical findings of the paper and to evaluate the dynamic performance of the DC microgrid.
