Frequency Variations in Power Systems: Modeling, State Estimation and
Control presents the Frequency Divider Formula (FDF); a unique approach
that defines, calculates and estimates the frequency in electrical
energy systems. This authoritative book is written by two noted
researchers on the topic. They define the meaning of frequency of an
electrical quantity (such as voltage and current) in non-stationary
conditions (for example the frequency is not equal to the nominal one)
and pose the foundation of the frequency divider formula. The book
describes the consequences of using a variable frequency in power system
modelling and simulations, in state estimation and frequency control
applications.
In addition, the authors include a discussion on the applications of the
frequency divider in systems where part of the generation is not based
on synchronous machines, but rather on converter-interfaced energy
resources, such as wind and solar power plants. This important book:
- Offers a review that clearly defines and shows how the Frequency
Divider Formula can be applied
- Discusses the link between frequency and energy in power systems
- Presents a unified vision that accurately reveals the common thread
that links modelling, control and estimation
- Includes information on the many implications that "local frequency
variations" have on power system dynamics and control
- Contains several numerical examples
Written for researchers, academic staff members, students, specialised
consultants and professional software developers, Frequency Variations
in Power Systems questions the conventional transient stability model
of power system and proposes a new formulation.
