ABSTRACT

With the current industry where renewable energy, power electronics converters and microgrids arise, the related system-level dynamics and control should be covered. This book covers synchronous generator models (steady-state and dynamics), generator voltage control, power system frequency control, and power system transient stability. It provides more insights using programming examples, state-of-the-art control design tools, and advanced control concepts to explain traditional power system dynamics and control. In addition, microgrid control will be covered as extended applications. The book has two main parts: control (frequency and voltage control) and dynamics (large-signal stability and small-signal stability). It also provides many examples and tutorials to facilitate learning. Through the study of the book, readers can master the skill of linear system analysis and simulation-based validation. It builds a bridge between traditional synchronous generator-based large-scale power system control and converter-based microgrid control.
