Power flow feasibility region (PFFR) is one of the most promising frameworks for static security assessment of power systems. This paper explored topological properties of boundaries of PFFR and proposed a new algorithm to trace boundaries of PFFR. Firstly
it is shown that there are significant distinctions between boundaries of PFFR in region of load injection space (RLIS) and that in region of generator injection space (RGIS). Especially
it is found that PFFR's boundaries in RGIS appear to be more linear within practical operating scope than those in RLIS. Then
based on the hybrid method
a new algorithm is developed for calculating the farthest boundary point of PFFR in high-dimension RGIS under L1 norm definition. This algorithm avoids frequent continuation power flow computation. Multisolution of the algorithm also validates the conclusion about topological property of PFFR.
