Small-disturbance voltage stability of distribution systems with induction generators

This letter presents an investigation about the small-disturbance voltage stability of distribution systems with induction generators by using time-domain nonlinear dynamic simulations. Results show that the presence of induction generators may decrease the system voltage stability margin. It was verified that at the maximum loading point, if the system loading is increased even more, then the induction generator accelerates to a high speed, becoming unstable and leading the system to a voltage collapse.
