Synopsis

Describes the use of power system component models and efficient computational techniques in the development of a new generation of programs representing the steady and dynamic states of electrical power systems. Presents main computational and transmission system developments. Derives steady state models of a.c. and d.c. power systems plant components, describes a general purpose phase a.c. load flow program emphasizing Newton Fast Decoupled Algorithm, and more. Considers all aspects of the power system in the dynamic state.

About this title

From the Back Cover

The changing structure of the electric utility industry has had a significant impact on power system design and operation. In particular, the incorporation of flexible a.c. transmission system (FACTS) devices and high voltage direct current (HVDC) links into conventional computational programs presents new challenges in power system modelling. Responding to these changes, Computer Modelling of Electrical Power Systems, Second Edition presents modern analysis tools for the design and improvement of power system performance.
This fully revised and updated edition features:
∗ The incorporation of HVDC and FACTS devices in power flow and system stability with detailed descriptions of the relevant algorithms.
∗ Extensive coverage of the EMTP (electromagnetic transient program) method – a key development in power system simulation.
∗ The use and impact of personal computers in power system simulation, with emphasis on efficient computational techniques for interactive work.
Practising engineers involved in the power system industry will value this timely update of a classic reference. Researchers and advanced electrical engineering students will appreciate the clear treatment of the latest analytical techniques.
