Features: This book is divided into three parts. Part I, including Chapters 1 and 2, provides general background information, describes the composition of modern power systems, identifies different forms and levels of control, and introduces stability issues. Part II, including Chapters 3 to 11, is dedicated to equipment characteristics and modeling. System stability is influenced by the characteristics of each major component in the power system. Knowledge of the physical properties and capabilities of individual components is crucial for understanding system stability. Describing these components with appropriate mathematical models is key to stability analysis. Part III, including Chapters 12 to 17, explores different categories of power system stability. The focus is on understanding the physical concepts of stability phenomena. Detailed descriptions are provided on analytical methods as well as control measures to mitigate stability issues. The theory in each chapter starts from simple concepts and gradually progresses to more advanced topics, until the theory can be applied to complex practical scenarios. For this purpose, each chapter is supplemented with numerous worked examples and timely emphasis on historical perspectives and past experiences. This book aims to bridge the gap by providing necessary fundamental concepts, explaining practical applications, and comprehensively elaborating on recent advancements in modeling techniques and analytical tools. The book is divided into three parts. Part I, consisting of the first two chapters, provides general background knowledge. Chapter 1 describes the structure of modern power systems, clarifying different forms and levels of control. Chapter 2 introduces stability issues, providing basic concepts, definitions, and classifications.
