This pioneering volume has been updated and enriched to reflect the
state-of-the-art in blackout prediction and prevention. It documents and
explains background and algorithmic aspects of the most successful
steady-state, transient and voltage stability solutions available today
in real-time. It also describes new, cutting-edge stability applications
of synchrophasor technology, and captures industry acceptance of metrics
and visualization tools that quantify and monitor the distance to
instability. Expert contributors review a broad spectrum of additionally
available techniques, such as trajectory sensitivities, ensuring this
volume remains the definitive resource for industry practitioners and
academic researchers in this critical area of power system operations.
