Advances in Power System Modelling, Control and Stability Analysis

Book excerpt: This book captures the variety of new methodologies and technologies that are changing the way modern electric power systems are modelled, simulated and operated. It combines theoretical aspects with practical considerations and benchmarks test systems and real-world applications. Part 1 presents research on power system modelling and includes applications of telegrapher equations, power flow analysis, discrete Fourier transformation and stochastic differential equations. Part 2 focuses on power system operation and control, and presents insights on optimal power flow, real-time control and state estimation techniques. Finally, Part 3 describes advances in the stability analysis of power systems and covers voltage stability, transient stability, time delays, and limit cycles. With contributions from well-known authors who are accepted authorities in their respective fields, this is an important collection of high-quality papers summarizing state-of-the-art research. This is essential reading for researchers in academia and industry and advanced students in electric power systems modelling and control.
