This paper presents an extended adaptive approach designed to accurately estimate the Thévenin equivalent parameters using phasor measurements at a given bus for measurements lying in any of four quadrants of the PQ-plane. The improvement is achieved by using a new condition to properly update the estimated parameters after an initial guess. Based on an adaptive philosophy, the proposed approach can correctly account for the intrinsic nonlinearities of a power system, can provide a real-time estimation of Thévenin parameters, and does not require network topology knowledge. The method is validated using the Kundur 2-area system, showing estimation improvements compared to the current adaptive approach and the classical recursive least-squares method. The proposed approach is able to estimate both sides of the system with respect to the measurement bus. In addition, a data-driven voltage stability index is developed. To illustrate the performance of the proposed approach in a larger power system, a voltage stability assessment is carried out on the IEEE 39-bus system, considering the action of overexcitation limiters of generators and nonlinear loads. The proposed approach is suitable for applications that require an accurate Thévenin equivalent estimation in real-time, such as for voltage stability assessment. The new approach provides a reliable tool for the system operators to make proper and timely decisions.
