The Power Electronics and Power Systems series, edited by Joe H. Chow, Alex M. Stankovic, and David Hill, covers advanced topics in power electronics, electric power restructuring, and comprehensive coverage of power systems. The series includes textbooks, research monographs, and reference works on various aspects of electric power transmission, distribution, energy markets, electronic devices, electric machines, computational techniques, and power converters. The book "Synchronized Phasor Measurements and Their Applications" (Second Edition) by Arun G. Phadke and James S. Thorp, published by Springer, focuses on the technology of synchronized phasor measurements (PMUs) and wide area measurement systems (WAMS). The authors highlight the growing adoption of PMUs and WAMS for improving the monitoring, protection, and control of power systems. They discuss new applications such as postmortem analysis of system disturbances, state estimation using PMU measurements, and protection and control using WAMS. The book also includes contributions from colleagues who have made significant advancements in the field, enhancing the overall coverage and depth of the content.The Power Electronics and Power Systems series, edited by Joe H.
