Nowadays, electric power systems have been often operated close to their limits due to increased electric power consumptions, vast installments of renewable power sources and deliberated power market policies. This poses a serious threat to stable network operation and control. Therefore, voltage stability is currently one of key topics worldwide for preventing related black-out and islanding scenarios. In this paper, modelling and simulations of steady-state voltage stability problems in MATLAB environment are performed using author-developed computational tool implementing both conventional and more advanced numerical approaches. Their performance is compared with Simulink-based library Power System Analysis Toolbox (PSAT) in terms of solution accuracy, CPU time, and possible limitations. Their use for both real-time and off-line monitoring and assessment of system's voltage stability are also discussed.
