The first part of the book discusses the online controller coordination requirements in WAN (wide-area network) which gives motivation to the new innovative schemes to predict future system status by a look-ahead approach to maintain system transient stability by introducing proper thyristor controlled series compensation (TCSC) in the post-disturbance scenario. The important feature of this scheme is in giving a general feasible approach by considering various time delays such as the communication channel delays and computation delays which are significant in geographically wide-spread power...
