Power System Control Under Cascading Failures

This book focuses on managing power systems during cascading outages, providing essential insights into modeling, separation, and restoration techniques.

This book provides a thorough introduction to the complexities of managing power systems during cascading outages and the subsequent restoration process. Power System Control Under Cascading Failures delves into three critical areas: modeling and analysis, system separation, and power system restoration. By focusing on these aspects, the authors aim to enhance the reliability and efficiency of power transmission grids in the face of potential failures.

The first section emphasizes the importance of modeling and analyzing cascading failures, offering insights into the mechanisms, root causes, and propagation patterns that lead to power outages. This foundational knowledge is essential for developing effective strategies to prevent such failures from occurring. Next, the book addresses controlled system separation, tackling essential questions about the timing and methodology of separating systems to mitigate cascading effects.

Finally, Power System Control Under Cascading Failures explores optimal restoration techniques following outages and blackouts. By outlining well-designed milestones and optimized procedures, the authors present emerging techniques that can significantly improve recovery efforts. Supported by practical examples and state-of-the-art methods, this book is a valuable resource for postgraduate students, researchers, and industry professionals seeking to enhance their understanding and practices in power system management.
