Abstract :
[en] The Quasi Steady-State (QSS) approximation of long-term dynamics relies on time-scale decomposition and consists of replacing faster phenomena by their equilibrium conditions, in order to reduce the complexity of the whole model and increase the computation efficiency of time simulations. This paper describes the extension of a QSS model extensively used in long-term voltage stability studies, to readily incorporate the frequency dynamics that takes place over the same time scale. This extended QSS model relies on a common-frequency assumption. Its advantages, limitations and possible improvements are discussed through simulation results on the Hydro-Québec system, where it has been compared to full time scale simulations. Disturbances with an impact on either frequency or voltages are considered and the coupling between these two aspects of long-term dynamics is briefly discussed.
