About this ebook

Power system modelling and scripting is a quite general and ambitious title. Of course, to embrace all existing aspects of power system modelling would lead to an encyclopedia and would be likely an impossible task. Thus, the book focuses on a subset of power system models based on the following assumptions: (i) devices are modelled as a set of nonlinear differential algebraic equations, (ii) all alternate-current devices are operating in three-phase balanced fundamental frequency, and (iii) the time frame of the dynamics of interest ranges from tenths to tens of seconds. These assumptions basically restrict the analysis to transient stability phenomena and generator controls. The modelling step is not self-sufficient. Mathematical models have to be translated into computer programming code in order to be analyzed, understood and “experienced”. It is an object of the book to provide a general framework for a power system analysis software tool and hints for filling up this framework with versatile programming code. This book is for all students and researchers that are looking for a quick reference on power system models or need some guidelines for starting the challenging adventure of writing their own code.

The book is a joy to read because, first and foremost, the author seemed to have anticipated my eagerness to learn everything about power system modelling from scratch. The author's systematic approach allows me to peel off the shrouds of mystery that surround power system modelling layer by layer, making learning the material really enjoyable. Also to our benefits, the authors did not hesitate to point out a few modelling myths that so many other authors did not bother to explain (e.g., the part about DC power flow). As the author of PSAT, the author is in the very best position to educate us on this subject. On an unrelated note, I do hope the author seriously consider open sourcing his PSAT successor, Dome, which seems very promising.
