Voltage Stability in Electrical Power Systems

Voltage Stability in Electrical Power Systems Explore critical topics and the latest research in voltage stability in electric power systems In Voltage Stability in Electrical Power Systems: Concepts, Assessment, and Methods for Improvement, three distinguished electrical engineers deliver a comprehensive discussion of voltage stability analysis in electrical power systems. The book discusses the concept of voltage stability, effective factors and devices, and suitable system modeling, offering readers an authoritative overview of the subject and strategies to prevent instability in power systems. The authors explore critical topics such as load and load tap changer (LTC) transformer modeling and the impact of distributed generation and transmission-distribution interactions on voltage stability. They also present practical methods to improve voltage stability. Readers will also find: Thorough introductions to voltage stability, effective factors and devices, and suitable systems modeling Comprehensive explorations of voltage stability assessment methods, including the continuation power flow methods and PV-curve fitting In-depth explorations of methods of improving voltage stability, including preventive and corrective methods Fulsome presentations of measurement-based indices and model-based indices of stability assessment Perfect for engineers and other professionals designing electric power systems, Voltage Stability in Electrical Power Systems: Concepts, Assessment, and Methods for Improvement will also earn a place in the libraries of graduate and senior undergraduate students with an interest in power systems.
