Power System Dynamics and Stability, J. Machowski & J. Machowski

This new edition addresses the needs of dynamic modeling and simulation relevant to power system planning, design, and operation, including a systematic derivation of synchronous machine dynamic models together with speed and voltage control subsystems. Reduced-order modeling based on integral manifolds is used as a firm basis for understanding the derivations and limitations of lower-order dynamic models. Following these developments, multi-machine model interconnected through the transmission network is formulated and simulated using numerical simulation methods. Energy function methods are discussed for direct evaluation of stability. Small-signal analysis is used for determining the electromechanical modes and mode-shapes, and for power system stabilizer design.

Time-synchronized high-sampling-rate phasor measurement units (PMUs) to monitor power system disturbances have been implemented throughout North America and many other countries. In this second edition, new chapters on synchrophasor measurement and using the Power System Toolbox for dynamic simulation have been added. These new materials will reinforce power system dynamic aspects treated more analytically in the earlier chapters.

Key features:

• Systematic derivation of synchronous machine dynamic models and simplification.
• Energy function methods with an emphasis on the potential energy boundary surface and the controlling unstable equilibrium point approaches.
• Phasor computation and synchrophasor data applications.
• Book companion website for instructors featuring solutions and PowerPoint files. Website for students featuring MATLAB^TM files.

Power System Dynamics and Stability, 2nd Edition, with Synchrophasor Measurement and Power System Toolbox combines theoretical as well as practical information for use as a text for formal instruction or for reference by working engineers.

The revised third edition of Power System Dynamics and Stability contains a comprehensive, state-of-the-art review of information on the topic. The third edition continues the successful approach of the first and second editions by progressing from simplicity to complexity. It places the emphasis first on understanding the underlying physical principles before proceeding to more complex models and algorithms. The book is illustrated by a large number of diagrams and examples.

The third edition of Power System Dynamics and Stability explores the influence of wind farms and virtual power plants, power plants inertia and control strategy on power system stability. The authors--noted experts on the topic--cover a range of new and expanded topics including:

• Wide-area monitoring and control systems.
• Improvement of power system stability by optimization of control systems parameters.
• Impact of renewable energy sources on power system dynamics.
• The role of power system stability in planning of power system operation and transmission network expansion.
• Real regulators of synchronous generators and field tests.
• Selectivity of power system protections at power swings in power system.
• Criteria for switching operations in transmission networks.
• Influence of automatic control of a tap changing step-up transformer on the power capability area of the generating unit.
• Mathematical models of power system components such as HVDC links, wind and photovoltaic power plants.
• Data of sample (benchmark) test systems.
