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 of analytical methods and control measures to mitigate stability issues are also provided. The theory in each chapter starts from simple concepts and gradually progresses to more advanced levels, until it can be applied to complex practical scenarios. For this purpose, each chapter is supplemented with numerous worked examples and appropriately emphasizes historical perspectives and past experiences.
