Written by two experts in the field, this self-contained book will appeal to practicing power system engineers and planners. This comprehensive text: provides the reader with an in-depth account of the transient stability problem, its physical description, its theoretical formulation and assessment discusses issues of practical interest in particular, synchronous machine and load modeling, evaluation of machine parameters and saturation effects, tools to improve stability provides an extensive coverage of both conventional and nonconventional methods of analysis practical examples and simulation results more » illustrate the range of techniques available includes three appendices that incorporate the per-unit system, equivalent circuit parameters, and excitation systems. Traditionally confined to the planning and design of power systems, transient stability studies are now increasingly important in operational planning and real-time operation.
The transient stability of power systems is an extremely intricate and highly nonlinear problem.
