Power System Transient Stability Analysis Using the Transient Energy Function Method
( This book details the state of the art in the developme...)
This book details the state of the art in the development and application of the transient energy function (TEF) method as a tool for power system transient stability assessment. It provides both the analytical foundations of the TEF method and the practical issues involved in the application of the method to analyze power systems. Of primary interest to electric utility engineers who need to understand and apply the technique, as well as engineers in research organizations involved in research and development projects on power system dynamics, and utility engineers interested in the use of the TEF method as a tool for dynamic security assessment.

Power Systems Analysis (2nd Edition)
( This is the first book on power system analysis to exp...)
This is the first book on power system analysis to explore the major changes in the structure and operation of the electric utility industry, and to show how power system operation will be affected by the new changes. It reflects the trends in state-of-the-art, computer-based power system analysis and shows how to apply each modern analysis tool in designing and improving an expansion of an existing power system. KEY FEATURES: Features a computer-based design example (carried out from chapter-to-chapter) which uses all the analysis. As the example develops, readers determine the parameter values for a proposed transmission system upgrade to support load growth and a new steel mill being located in the area; convert all the parameters to per unit -- the preferred choice of units for system analysis; determine typical parameters for the generators in the system being designed; develop the admittance matrix and the impedance matrix for the system being designed; conduct the power flow and check the designed system for possible violations, and appropriately modify the design; and conduct a contingency analysis on the designed system; analyze the behavior of the designed system under faulted condition; continue the design with a selection of relay settings to protect the system in the event of these faulted conditions; and perform a transient stability simulation on the system and verify the ability of the system to remain stable. For engineers working in the electric utility industry.
