Voltage stability is a major concern in the planning and operation of electric power systems. This is the first book to provide a clear, in-depth explanation of voltage stability, covering both transient and longer-term phenomena and presenting proven solution to instability problems. An essential tool for all electric power and utility engineers, the book describes equipment characteristics for transmission, generation, and distribution/load subsystems of a power system, together with methods for the modeling of equipment. Readers will find static and dynamic computer simulation examples for both small equivalent power systems and for a very large power system, plus an account of voltage stability associated with HVDC links. They will also get helpful planning and operating guidelines, computer methods for power flow and dynamic simulation, and descriptions of actual voltage instability incidents.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Book evaluation,
By A Customer
This review is from: Power System Stability and Control (Hardcover)
The book is one of the top books in the area of power system stability and control. The main advantage of this book it's coverage of many angular and voltage stability topics in a detailed and easy to follow style. There are many chapters in the book that provided a detail outline of power system components modeling for load flow and stability studies this include generators, exciters, governors, HVDC lines, etc. Also, it contains a good description of time domain stability analysis methods, voltage stability studies, and subsynchronous resonance in power system. The only shortcoming of the book is the transient Energy Function (TEF) portion which is not well explained and very short without enough details about the method. The implementation example of this portion is only 2 bus system with on of them is infinite bus bar system. There is no software attached to this book, but the reader can utilized free power system tools like PSAT to simulate some of the book examples. I highly recommended this book for engineers and students in the area of power system operation and control.

Power system stability and control,
This review is from: Power System Stability and Control (Hardcover)
I think this book is a valuable one for both practricing engineers and academecians. It provides basic theory of synchronous machines and devlops models for the same. It gives an over view of fundmentals of power system stability (transient and small signal. It includes modeling of generators, governors, exciters and stabilizers in the simulation of system stability. Also covered in the text is the voltage stability and several examples.
I recommend to both graduate students and power system engineers in the field.

The very best of Power System Stability,
This review is from: Power System Stability and Control (Hardcover)
This book is simply the best of stability power system problem solves. I Purchased because his contents realy helps all of any questions that I could have. All subjects are contained in the book and in few chapters didactic and easily.
I recommend!
