Abstract
The authors describe an extension of the point of collapse method developed for studies of AC systems to the determination of saddle-node bifurcations in power systems including high voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission. Bus voltage profiles are illustrated for an AC/DC test system. They significantly differ from the profiles of pure AC systems for typical system models. In particular, voltage dependent current order limits are shown to affect the voltage profiles and the loadability margin of the system. It is also shown that Hopf bifurcations, which are possible in purely AC lossless systems with second-order generator models, become plausible when the dynamics for the HVDC system are included. >
