Fully revised and updated second edition of Power System Dynamics and Stability (Wiley, 1997). As well as providing essential information on the physical understanding of complex dynamics, explained using simplified models, the book now includes important recent developments in power system technology. These are flexible alternating current transmission systems (FACTS), wide-area monitoring systems (WAMS) and devices enabling the efficient integration of renewable and distributed generated power into the national grid. There is also an analysis of how to control and limit power system failure, examining the stability and reliability of modern power systems. Overall, it is a practical guide to the field with mathematical models using MATLAB and SIMULINK and simulation techniques. Includes information on flexible alternating current transmission systems (FACTS) and wide-area monitoring systems (WAMS). Analyses the technical challenges involved in integrating renewable and distributed energy generation into the national grid, highlighting the significant changes in attitude towards power generation in recent years. Provides in-depth coverage of power system dynamics, stability and reliability, examining how to limit power system failure by looking at the recent high-profile blackouts in Europe and the USA. Presents new chapters describing a mathematical model of a power system suitable for approximate simulation of frequency control and power exchanges using MATLAB/SIMULINK tools, and discussing the static and dynamic properties of equivalents.
