This book is the fully revised and updated second edition ofPower System Dynamics and Stability published in1997. The modified title Power System Dynamics: Stabilityand Control reflects a slight shift in focus from solelydescribing power system dynamics to the means of dealing with them.The book has been expanded by about a third to include:
* a new chapter on wind power generation;
* a new section on wide-area measurement systems (WAMS) and theirapplication for real-time control;
* an overview of lessons learned from wide-spread blackoutsaffecting North America and Europe in 2003, 2004 and 2006;
* enhanced treatment of voltage stability and control, andfrequency stability and control;
* application of Lyapunov direct method to analyse and enhancestability of multi-machine power systems ;
* expanded coverage of steady-state stability using eigenvalueanalysis, including modal analysis of dynamic equivalents.
The book continues the successful approach of the first editionby progressing from simplicity to complexity. It places theemphasis first on understanding the underlying physical principlesbefore proceeding to more complex models and algorithms. The readerwill appreciate the authors' accessible approach as the bookis illustrated by over 400 diagrams and a large number ofexamples.
Power System Dynamics: Stability and Control, SecondEdition is an essential resource for graduates of electricalengineering. It is also a clear and comprehensive reference textfor undergraduate students, and for practising engineers andresearchers who are working in electricity companies or in thedevelopment of power system technologies.

?This up to date second edition of the book will certainly be assuccessful as the first one.? (IEEE Industrial ElectronicsMagazine, December 2009)
?It is well written with a good balance between mathematicalrigger and physically insightful discussions. The book provides agood broad coverage of dynamics, stability and control of powersystems covering all the major issues such as voltage stability,angular stability, frequency stability and control, and modeling ofpower systems and their components.? (IEEE Power & EnergyMagazine , September/October 2009)
