The increased use of power lines to interconnect multiple generating sources into a pool or grid has led to increased concern for preventing vulnerability to stability problems, in which failure of a single line can ultimately lead to an unanticipated blackout. This comprehensive reference guides readers through every aspect of improving the reliability and stability of electric transmission systems to reduce the likelihood of such transmission failures. There is detailed coverage of the technical factors which must be considered in reducing the risk of failures, as well as hard-to-find information, such as the effect of high-speed breakers on stability, how to calculate unbalanced faults, multi-machine stability and power-factor control.
