Abstract—This paper presents dynamic voltage collapse
prediction on an actual power system using support vector machines.
Dynamic voltage collapse prediction is first determined based on the
PTSI calculated from information in dynamic simulation output.
Simulations were carried out on a practical 87 bus test system by
considering load increase as the contingency. The data collected from
the time domain simulation is then used as input to the SVM in which
support vector regression is used as a predictor to determine the
dynamic voltage collapse indices of the power system. To reduce
training time and improve accuracy of the SVM, the Kernel function
type and Kernel parameter are considered. To verify the
effectiveness of the proposed SVM method, its performance is
compared with the multi layer perceptron neural network (MLPNN).
Studies show that the SVM gives faster and more accurate results for
dynamic voltage collapse prediction compared with the MLPNN.
