▶ Proposes a uniform and coherent theoretical framework for analysis

Voltage Stability of Electric Power Systems presents a clear description of voltage instability
and collapse phenomena. It proposes a uniform and coherent theoretical framework for
analysis and covers state-of-the-art methods. The book describes practical methods that
can be used for voltage security assessment and offers a variety of examples. This is a
first attempt to condense the technical papers and reports on this subject into a single,

coherent, and theoretically sound presentation.
 
Transmission, generation, and load aspects of the voltage instability problem are
Printed book treated in detail, and a comprehensive power system model for use in voltage stability
Hardcover analysis is developed and explained. Notions and concepts from nonlinear system theory
valid through March 31, 2018 are presented in a tutorial manner for the use of those new to the field. Loadability,
