A new combined analytical–numerical probabilistic method for assessing the impact of DERs on the voltage stability of bulk power systems by Wanjoli, Paul, Moustafa, Mohamed M. Zakaria, Abbasy, Nabil H.

“…The proposed method outperforms the Monte Carlo simulation (MCS)-based method in accuracy and computational speed, increasing DERs penetration and voltage stability limits by 3%. It closely matches MCS voltage estimates but requires fewer iterations (500 per loading increment) compared to MCS’s 1000, leading to faster computation times (a few hours to one day versus up to three days for MCS). …”
