POWER SYSTEM MONITORING AND CONTROL
An invaluable resource for addressing the myriad critical technical
engineering considerations in modern electric power system design and
operation
Power System Monitoring and Control (PSMC) is becoming increasingly
significant in the design, planning, and operation of modern electric
power systems. In response to the existing challenge of integrating
advanced metering, computation, communication, and control into
appropriate levels of PSMC, Power System Monitoring and Control
presents a comprehensive overview of the basic principles and key
technologies for the monitoring, protection, and control of contemporary
wide-area power systems. A variety of topical issues are addressed,
including renewable energy sources, smart grids, wide area stabilizing,
coordinated voltage regulation and angle oscillation damping--as well as
the advantages of phasor measurement units (PMUs) and global positioning
system (GPS) time signal. Analysis and synthesis examples, along with
case studies, add depth and clarity to all topics.
- Provides an up-to-date and comprehensive reference for researchers and
engineers working on wide-area PSMC
- Links fundamental concepts of PSMC, advanced metering and control
theory/techniques, and practical engineering considerations
- Covers PSMC problem understanding, design, practical aspects, and
topics such as smart grid and coordinated angle oscillation damping
and voltage regulation
- Incorporates the authors' experiences teaching and researching in
international locales including Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, and
Australia
Power System Monitoring and Control is ideally suited for a graduate
course on this topic. It is also a practical reference for researchers
and professional engineers working in power system monitoring, dynamic
stability and control.
