Power system modelling and scripting is a quite general and ambitious
title. Of course, to embrace all existing aspects of power system
modelling would lead to an encyclopedia and would be likely an
impossible task. Thus, the book focuses on a subset of power system
models based on the following assumptions: (i) devices are modelled as a
set of nonlinear differential algebraic equations, (ii) all
alternate-current devices are operating in three-phase balanced
fundamental frequency, and (iii) the time frame of the dynamics of
interest ranges from tenths to tens of seconds. These assumptions
basically restrict the analysis to transient stability phenomena and
generator controls. The modelling step is not self-sufficient.
Mathematical models have to be translated into computer programming code
in order to be analyzed, understood and "experienced". It is an object
of the book to provide a general framework for a power system analysis
software tool and hints for filling up this framework with versatile
programming code. This book is for all students and researchers that are
looking for a quick reference on power system models or need some
guidelines for starting the challenging adventure of writing their own
code.
