This book discusses the automatic closed-loop control of generators, which is the key to the successful operation of modern power plants and power systems. The first edition of this book gained wide readership because of its control topics and its coverage of optimum operation and load flow analysis. Now these topics have been greatly expanded to conform with the state-of-the-art of electric energy systems, and a new and unique emphasis has been placed on emergency control. The mechanism that transforms mechanical power into electrical megawatts in three-phase synchronous machines, and the collective behavior of the many machines that make up a modern power system are presented. A detailed treatment of the Newton-Raphson powerflow algorithm, an overview of system protection, examples in unbalanced fault analysis, a step-by-step example of a building-algorithm, explanations of subharmonic resonance and intermachine oscillations, turbine transfer functions, utilization of the state transition diagram and a chapter on three-phase theory are offered.
