This book, titled "Power System Oscillations," is part of the Kluwer International Series in Engineering and Computer Science, focusing on Power Electronics and Power Systems. It is edited by M. A. Pai and includes contributions from Graham Rogers of Cherry Tree Scientific Software. The book covers various aspects of power system oscillations, including: 1. **Introduction to Power System Oscillations**: Discusses the nature of oscillations and the classical generator model. 2. **Detailed Generator Model**: Explores local modes and inter-area modes in detail. 3. **Controlled Detailed Generator Model**: Analyzes the impact of controls on oscillations. 4. **Response to System Faults**: Examines how oscillations respond to different fault scenarios. 5. **Modal Analysis of Power Systems**: Introduces modal analysis techniques and their application to detailed generator models. 6. **Modal Analysis for Control**: Discusses transfer functions, controllability, observability, and frequency response. 7. **Power System Structure and Oscillations**: Analyzes coherent generator groups and the influence of tie lines on inter-area mode stability. 8. **Generator Controls**: Reviews speed governor controls and excitation controls. 9. **Power System Stabilizers**: Explains the basics, design, and performance evaluation of power system stabilizers. 10. **Robust Control**: Focuses on performance specifications, robust stability, and robust performance. 11. **Damping by Electronic Power System Devices**: Discusses the use of static VAR compensators, thyristor-controlled series capacitors, and high-voltage DC link modulation for damping control. The book also includes a CD-ROM with MATLAB m-files and binary files containing data and results for all examples. It is dedicated to the author's wife, Jean, and provides a comprehensive resource for researchers and engineers in the field of power systems.This book, titled "Power System Oscillations," is part of the Kluwer International Series in Engineering and Computer Science, focusing on Power Electronics and Power Systems.
