Improved computations of the voltage collapse point using the P-index
… voltage stability monitoring tool called the P-index. A method that utilizes linear approximation of Voltage-Load relationship was introduced alongside the P-index, providing enhanced precision compared to most recognized indices. However, this method generates a high level of inaccuracy because …

Phosphorus Management: An Analysis of the Virginia Phosphorus Index
… to deliver P to surface water. The Virginia P-Index is a mass-based tool that estimates the annual risk of delivery of P from a given field to surface water. Guidelines on P application rates are then given based on the level of risk. This is a new tool and additional research and testing are …

Qualitative insights into the voltage stability problem
… margin. Three indicators are examined, the L-index, the coupled-port method, and the P-index. it found that the L-index does not have a reliable alarm level, and when flagged with an alarm used for the P-index, it shows a large variation of the estimation accuracy across systems. Also, the …

Development and application of a new voltage stability index for on-line monitoring and shedding
… a new voltage stability indicator named the P-index is proposed. This index is based on normalized voltage and power sensitivities and as such, it provides an absolute measure of the system stability. It is robust and based on solid theoretical foundations. The index has been tested on static …

A two step predictor-corrector method for voltage collapse point estimation
… process by using a VSI called P-index. An initial prediction is made, corrected using a continuation technique, and then updated after correction. The results are relatively accurate and it makes a significant improvement to the CPF computational time.

Phosphorus runoff potential of different sources of manure applied to fescue pastures in Virginia
Version 2.0 of the P Index for Virginia uses coefficients describing the risk of P losses for different manure sources applied to fescue pasture that have not been verified on Virginian soils. In the first experiment, four sources of manure (dairy slurry, piggery waste, beef solids, and poultry …
