After the incidence of innumerable collapses occurred in the energy transmission systems due to the extreme use of the transmission lines, the voltage stability, or more adequately, the voltage security became an important issue in the last years. The correct representation of loads and voltage control devices is important in the analysis of voltage security of the electrical system, due to its increasing complexity and to the necessity of more accurate and secure operative actions. The voltage security assessment is based on a linear model of the load flow equations, including all and any control equation, and the resulting indexes are calculated for a specified operating point. In off-line studies the operating point is usually obtained from a load flow algorithm. It is important that the system and its components mathematical models, control devices and limits are compatible in both computational programs. This work is concerned with the steady state modelling and its incorporation into the voltage security assessment function, of induction motor type loads and band voltage control by switchable capacitors. Fundamental aspects of induction motors and switchable capacitors in the assessment of voltage security are presented and discussed. Numerical examples of voltage stability assessment indexes are presented to illustrate the necessity of realistic modelling.
