ETAP Solutions for Improving Voltage Stability

Voltage collapse is a significant threat to generation, industrial, distribution and transmission system. It is generally characterized by loss of a stable operating point as well as by the deterioration of voltage levels in and around the electrical center of the region undergoing voltage collapse.

Voltage stability improvements are possible in all types of power systems susceptible to voltage collapse including generation, industrial, transmission and distribution. Voltage stability may be improved during design as well as system operation phases.

ETAP offers numerous solutions that may be used in combination to safeguard an electrical system against voltage collapse.
