Abstract
Power system operation centers require knowledge of the load level where the system may present instability characteristics. It is common practice to calculate the load margin where the system can collapse in voltage respecting a direction of load growth. However, the increase in load can also cause low damped oscillation modes to appear and cause small-signal stability problems of power systems. This research proposes a Crow Search Algorithm-based method to calculate the load margin of power systems considering small-signal stability and voltage stability requirements. To solve the problem of good initial conditions for the search problem, the Sine Cosine Algorithm was used. The proposed method was evaluated in the IEEE 39-bus system and the results achieved show the effectiveness of the method in determining the load margins quickly.
