Power System Analysis

Foreword

Although electrical power systems have been in existence for more than a century, challenges in this field abound. While the structure of a bulk power system has remained more or less unchanged, the deployment of emerging technologies like wind and solar energy systems, voltage-source (power electronic) converters, and wide-area measurement systems have had a significant impact on the operation and control of power systems. An abiding concern of a power system engineer has been the stability of the electrical grid, that is, its ability to withstand a disturbance and return to an acceptable equilibrium. Although this is stated quite simply, complex modelling, analytical and computational tools are required to analyse, quantify, and improve ...
