Approximating the parameter-space stability boundary considering post-contingency corrective controls

Lately, much work in the area of voltage stability assessment has been focused on finding post-contingency corrective controls. In this article a contribution to this area will be presented where we investigate the surface of maximal loadability while allowing for post-contingency corrective controls. This objective is different from the usual, where the aim is to include the post-contingency controls in a security-constrained optimal power flow. Our aim is rather to find approximations of the post-contingency stability boundary, in pre-contingency parameter space, while including the possibility for post-contingency corrective controls. These approximations can then be used in, for example, a chance-constrained optimal power flow routine.
