Power System Dynamics: Stability and Control

by Jan Machowski, Janusz W. Bialek, Dr Jim Bumby

This book is the fully revised and updated second edition of Power System Dynamics and Stability published in 1997. The modified title Power System Stability and Control reflects a slight shift in focus from solely describing power system dynamics to the means of dealing with them. The book has been expanded by about a third to new chapter on wind power generation;a new section on wide-area measurement systems (WAMS) and their application for real-time control;an overview of lessons learned from wide-spread blackouts affecting North America and Europe in 2003, 2004 and 2006;enhanced treatment of voltage stability and control, and frequency stability and control;application of Lyapunov direct method to analyse and enhance stability of multi-machine power systems ;expanded coverage of steady-state stability using eigenvalue analysis, including modal analysis of dynamic equivalents.The book continues the succe

[John · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book constitutes both an excellent desk reference for the practicing engineer and an introductory text on small/large signal/disturbance analysis and encompasses transient stability and voltage stability. Review of the principal mechanisms of system electromechanical dynamics is provided and encompasses modeling methodology and solutions approach.
