Power System Monitoring and Control

Power System Monitoring and Control (PSMC) is becomingincreasingly significant in the design, planning, and operation ofmodern electric power systems. In response to the existingchallenge of integrating advanced metering, computation, communication, and control into appropriate levels of PSMC, Power System Monitoring and Control presents a comprehensiveoverview of the basic principles and key technologies for themonitoring, protection, and control of contemporary wide-area powersystems. A variety of topical issues are addressed, includingrenewable energy sources, smart grids, wide-area stabilizing, coordinated voltage regulation, and angle oscillationdamping--as well as the advantages of phasor measurement units(PMUs) and global positioning systems (GPS) time signal. End-of-chapter problems and solutions, along with case studies, adddepth and clarity to all topics. Timely and important, PowerSystem Monitoring and Control is an invaluable resource foraddressing the myriad of critical technical engineeringconsiderations in modern electric power system design andoperation.
