"This is a classic reissue of the 1978 edition. As power systems continue to grow in size and complexity, it becomes increasingly important to understand system stability to prevent dynamic collapse and possible blackout. This book illustrates synchronous generators and their prime movers and controls as well as extensive mathematical modeling of these important items. This book is a must-have for professionals in the electric power industry as well as engineering students."
Electrical Engineering/Power Systems Power System Control and Stability Providing a comprehensive description of the dynamic condition of the power system, this classic text presents critical information on synchronous generators and their excitation systems, as well as extensive material on mathematical modeling of these critical components. You will learn how to:
- analyze the dynamic performance of interconnected power systems
- examine the characteristics of the various components of a power system during normal operating conditions and during disturbances
- explore the detailed mathematical models of system components and analyze the system behavior using the necessary computational tools
Written for practicing engineers in the electric power industry, as well as advanced students interested in power system dynamic behavior, this "must-have" guide will help you understand the dynamic performance of power systems.
