Power System Monitoring and Control

An invaluable resource for addressing the myriad critical technical engineering considerations in modern electric power system design and operation

Power System Monitoring and Control (PSMC) is becoming increasingly significant in the design, planning, and operation of modern electric power systems. In response to the existing challenge of integrating advanced metering, computation, communication, and control into appropriate levels of PSMC, Power System Monitoring and Control presents a comprehensive overview of the basic principles and key technologies for the monitoring, protection, and control of contemporary wide-area power systems. A variety of topical issues are addressed, including renewable energy sources, smart grids, wide area stabilizing, coordinated voltage regulation and angle oscillation damping—as well as the advantages of phasor measurement units (PMUs) and global positioning system (GPS) time signal. Analysis and synthesis examples, along with case studies, add depth and clarity to all topics.

• Provides an up-to-date and comprehensive reference for researchers and engineers working on wide-area PSMC
• Links fundamental concepts of PSMC, advanced metering and control theory/techniques, and practical engineering considerations
• Covers PSMC problem understanding, design, practical aspects, and topics such as smart grid and coordinated angle oscillation damping and voltage regulation
• Incorporates the authors’ experiences teaching and researching in international locales including Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, and Australia

Power System Monitoring and Control is ideally suited for a graduate course on this topic. It is also a practical reference for researchers and professional engineers working in power system monitoring, dynamic stability and control.
