An Introduction to Reactive Power Control and Voltage Stability in Power Transmission Systems

The basic concepts of power system stability and other operational aspects have been discussed. Both the advanced and the practical aspects have been highlighted. Modern concepts and applications, theoretical as well as simulated study, have been presented wherever necessary. In brief, the text presents a complete overview of the research and engineering aspects of the problem of stability, suitable both for academics and practising engineers, along with a brief historical review of the concerned topics. In some instances the authors have included some of their own research results while maintaining the uniformity of overall treatment of the book. The text is replete with examples and is backed up by analytical derivations and physical interpretations, wherever considered necessary.
