• Reviews factors affecting stability of power systems and indicates items under control of system operators that can affect stability
• Discusses extra high voltage transmission of electric power by both alternating and direct current
• Emphasizes the requirements for safe, economic operation of power systems
This new book stands alone in minimizing mathematics and technical data —a single chapter capsulizes essential basic circuit theory and the Appendix develops mathematical concepts related to revolving fields in multi-phase ac systems and control of power flow via phase-shifting transformers.
What's more, it gives you a complete rundown on recent advances and special topics—
• Interconnected operation of power systems, including control of energy flow, economic considerations and methods of accounting for energy, reliability and stability
• Economic loading of generating sources
• Applying telemetry to power systems and control
Illustrative examples, generously provided throughout the book, fix points firmly; simple diagrams make them graphically clear; and end-of-chapter problems provide a quick review of practical procedures. Vissza
