This paper presents improved and new methodologies for the calculation of critical eigenvalues in the small signal stability analysis of large electric power systems. They augment the robustness and efficiency of existing methods and provide new alternatives. The procedures are implementations of Newton`s method, inverse power and Rayleigh quotient iterations, equipped with implicit deflation, and restarted Arnoldi with a locking mechanism and either shift-invert or semi-complex Cayley preconditioning. The various algorithms are compared and evaluated regarding convergence, performance and applicability.
