For an ideal stiff load, the power demand of the load is independent of voltage
and is constant:

The stability of both equilibrium points can be tested using the small-
disturbance method. Now consider equilibrium points in Figure 8.8a and
assume that there is a small negative voltage disturbance V. This will result
in the supplied reactive power QS(V) being greater than the reactive power
demand QL(V). This excess of reactive power will tend to increase the voltage
and therefore force the voltage to return to point s. If the disturbance
produces an increase in voltage, the resulting deficit in reactive power will
force the voltage to decrease and again return to point s. The conclusion is
that equilibrium point s is stable.
