Features: This authoritative monograph provides an in-depth and thorough discussion of voltage stability issues in power systems, helping readers engage in power system planning and operation. The book was published with the support of EPRI, covering the transient and long-term behavior of power systems and offering effective solutions to common power system instability problems. Garson W. Taylor is an internationally renowned expert in voltage stability. As a full-time engineer at the Bonneville Power Administration, the author has conducted extensive research on voltage stability in the Pacific Northwest system and adjacent regions. Additionally, he has been involved in voltage stability work with organizations such as the Western System Coordinating Council (ASCC), the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), IEEE, CIGRE, and EPRI. This book summarizes the author's years of practical experience and research achievements. It describes the component characteristics of transmission systems, generation systems, and distribution and load systems in power systems, while also providing modeling methods for different components. Furthermore, using small equivalent power systems and large actual power systems as examples, the book discusses methods for applying computers to perform static and dynamic simulations of voltage stability, and analyzes voltage stability issues in power systems with HVDC interconnections. The unique aspects of this book include guidelines for power system planning and operation, methods for analyzing voltage stability using power flow and dynamic simulation programs, and descriptions of actual voltage instability events that have occurred in many power systems around the world. As a tool for power industry professionals, this book provides the necessary knowledge and skills to address voltage stability problems in power systems. To adapt to the rapid development of China's power industry and meet the needs of students and faculty in power-related fields, especially senior undergraduate and graduate students and technical personnel who require direct access to foreign scientific monographs and firsthand data, China Power Press has collaborated with McGraw-Hill Education Publishing Company to publish and distribute the photocopied edition of this book within the People's Republic of China. The publication of this book is expected to play a significant role in promoting and advancing the development of China's power industry in the 21st century.
