Ebook: Wide Area Monitoring of Interconnected Power Systems

Wide Area Monitoring of Interconnected Power Systems deals with the development and application of new analytical techniques, based on advanced signal processing methods and multi-scale, multi-temporal analysis tools, and the analysis, monitoring and control of wide-area phenomena in large interconnected power systems. It is the first comprehensive, systematic account of advanced health monitoring and control systems, and near real-time power system analysis and security monitoring. In addition, it includes methods for improved visualization of system conditions, optimal data fusion, improved forecasting and modeling of system behavior.

This book is intended for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in electrical engineering and students on smart grid programs, as well as for researchers, utility engineers, and advanced teaching in the fields of applied control and power engineering. The subject has wide applications in biological and medical (health monitoring) sciences, and engineering (structural health assessment, forecasting and prediction, sensors) and will be of interest to those in the field.
