"This book on "Operation and Control in Power Systems" deals with the important topics in Power System Operation such as load flow analysis, economic operation and optimal flows, frequency control, excitation system and control, voltage and reactive power control. In addition certain advanced topics such as voltage stability, FACT's controllers, state estimation, load prediction, generation reserve capacity calculations and decentralized controls are discussed. Wherever required the relevant mathematical background is provided.

Features:

• A number of examples are worked out for the benefit of the students.
• Each chapter has questions and problems at the end.
• A large number of multiple choice questions are provided at the end of the book with answers."
