In Cuba, from the seventies of the past century, different algorithms to study stationary and transient regimes of the Cuban Electric System were developed. Those algorithms and computer programs were focused in the study of transient stability. Currently, we use widely the computer program "Power System Explorer" (PSX) which have a lot of facilities to make studies about stationary and transient regimes of electric power systems. Due to the studies about planning of electric power systems and the accumulated experience working with Cuban Electric System, the need of study the problems related with voltage stability of Cuban Electric System has arisen. In this paper, we make a first review about some static and dynamic mathematical methods included in bibliography about voltage stability of electric power systems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

During the historical development of electrical engineering, have developed many methods for calculating the contact resistance grounding electrodes of different configurations, from approximate methods, semi exact methods up methods which guarantee good levels of exactness. The development achieved by the computer has enabled the rescue of relatively old algorithms, such as those based on the theory of Maxwell's images, until the development of methods based on the theory of finite elements. In this paper we describe the features and benefits of a program for the design and analysis of grounding systems for any electrical installation, using the theory of Maxwell's images.
