E-raamat: Real-Time Stability Assessment in Modern Power System Control Centers

Savalescu (CEO, Energy Consulting International) and 30 co-contributors provide the state-of-the-art in the quickly advancing field of using online stability assessment to determine how far a given operating state is from instability. The book begins with an SCADA/EMS introduction intended to familiarize readers with real-time and study-mode data environments in modern control centers. Topics also include: an overview of key stability concepts applied for real-time operations, LIPA implementation of real-time stability monitoring in a CIM compliant environment, implementation of online dynamic security assessment at Southern Company, dynamic network security analysis in a load dispatch center, and detection and evaluation of stability-constrained transmission paths. Numerous tables, graphs, and illustrations are included. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

This book answers the need for a practical, hands-on guide for assessing power stability in real time, rather than in offline simulations. Since the book is primarily geared toward the practical aspects of the subject, theoretical background is reduced to the strictest minimum. For the benefit of readers who may not be quite familiar with the underlying theoretical techniques, appendices describing key algorithms and theoretical issues are included at the end of the book. It is an excellent source for researchers, professionals, and advanced undergraduate and graduate students.
