This book reports on the latest findings in the application of
the wide area measurement systems (WAMS) in the analysis and control of power
systems. The book collects new research ideas and achievements including a
delay-dependent robust design method, a wide area robust coordination strategy,
a hybrid assessment and choice method for wide area signals, a free-weighting
matrices method and its application, as well as the online identification
methods for low-frequency oscillations. The main original research results of
this book are a comprehensive summary of the authors’ latest six-year study.
The book will be of interest to academic researchers, R&D engineers and
graduate students in power systems who wish to learn the core principles,
methods, algorithms, and applications of the WAMS.
