About the Book:
This book presents a general
framework for modelling power system devices to develop complete
electromechanical models for synchronous machines, induction machines, and
power electronic devices. It also presents linear system analysis tools that
are specific to power systems and which are not generally taught in
undergraduate linear system courses. Lastly, the book covers the application of
the models, analysis and tools to the design of automatic voltage controllers and
power system stabilisers, both for single-machine-infinite-bus systems and
multi-machine interconnected systems.
In most textbooks modelling,
dynamic analysis, and control are closely linked to the computation methods
used for analysis and design. In contrast, this book separates the essential
principles and the computational methods used for power system dynamics and
control. The clear distinction between principles and methods makes the
potentially daunting task of designing controllers for power systems much
easier to approach.
A rich set of
exercises is also included, and represents an integral part of the book.
Students can immediately apply—using any computational tool or software—the
essential principles discussed here to practical problems, helping them master
the essentials. |

a Associate Professor at the University of New South Wales. His research
interests are in the areas of modelling and control of flexible structures and
acoustical noise, as well as cable-driven long-reach manipulators. He has
worked on obtaining models for distributed parameter systems using symbolic
algebra software, and on various control techniques for distributed parameter
