Comprehensive treatment of an aspect of stability constrained operations and planning, including the latest research and engineering practices

Stability-Constrained Optimization for Modern Power System Operation and Planning focuses on the subject of power system stability. Unlike other books in this field, which focus mainly on the dynamic modeling, stability analysis, and controller design for power systems, this book is instead dedicated to stability-constrained optimization methodologies for power system stability enhancement, including transient stability-constrained power system dispatch and operational control, and voltage stability-constrained dynamic VAR Resources planning in the power grid.

Authored by experts with established track records in both research and industry, Stability-Constrained Optimization for Modern Power System Operation and Planning covers three parts:

• Overview of power system stability, including definition, classification, phenomenon, mathematical models and analysis tools for stability assessment, as well as a review of recent large-scale blackouts in the world
• Transient stability-constrained optimal power flow (TSC-OPF) and transient stability constrained-unit commitment (TSC-UC) for power system dispatch and operational control, including a series of optimization model formulations, transient stability constraint construction and extraction methods, and efficient solution approaches
• Optimal planning of dynamic VAR Resources (such as STATCOM and SVC) in power system for voltage stability enhancement, including a set of voltage stability indices, candidate bus selection methods, multi-objective optimization model formulations, and high-quality solution approaches

Stability-Constrained Optimization for Modern Power System Operation and Planning provides the latest research findings to scholars, researchers, and postgraduate students who are seeking optimization methodologies for power system stability enhancement, while also offering key practical methods to power system operators, planners, and optimization algorithm developers in the power industry.
