This book is a must read for anyone operating or doing design engineering of power systems. It clearly delineates the why of stability studies as it relates to the requirements of power system operations. A concise presentation of the workflow involving power system studies to inform distribution management systems is provided, including Automatic Generation Control and VAr Control.
