This book provides a thorough understanding of the fundamentals and applications of modelling, analysing the problem of stability, operation of power systems, and problems associated with restructured power systems. With its coverage and focus, this book will meet the needs of students of power systems engineering courses. It will also serve as a useful reference resource for researchers and practising engineers.

Highlights:


A large number of solved problems and unsolved exercises accompanying theory, for better comprehension.
Inclusion of MATLAB M-files and SIMULINK in numerical examples, for assisting with analysis.
A dedicated chapter on supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA).
A section on engineering challenges encountered in the restructuring of interconnected power systems.
Excellent coverage of the regulatory and legal framework.
