Description
The creation of a European liberalized electricity internal marketand EU commitments for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions(Kyoto Protocol) and for the use of renewable energy generationtechnologies induce new important constraints and problems on theelectric power systems in Europe. This then creates the need formore research and development to engage with these new challengesin order to preserve the reliability of these systems. This bookaims to provide advanced tools, covering major aspects, for peopleinvolved with such research and development.
Split into two parts (the first covering the operation and controlof electric power systems and the second the stability and defenceof electric power systems), this book gathers togethercontributions from numerous well-known European specialists inacademia and the electrical industry and will be an illuminatingread for those involved in this field or who have some knowledge ofthe fundamental notions.

Michel Crappe (1936) received the degrees in Civil Minning Engineering and Civil Electrical Engineering in 1959 and 1962 respectively, from the Faculté Polytechnique de Mons (Belgium). He joined the Faculté Polytechnique de Mons in 1963, where he has been from 1971 to 2001 full professor in charge of the Electrical Machine Department. He is currently emeritus professor. Editor of 3 books on electric power systems, author or co-author of over 100 journal and conference papers and chapters in 6 books, in the areas of large electrical machine, system identification concepts, electric power system dynamic behaviour, FACTS and electrical energy distributed generation. Member of several Scientific Committees and Editorial Boards. From 1985 to 2000, chairman of the Scientific Committee of the Royal Belgian Electrical Engineering Society (SRBE). Elected in November 2003 associate member of the Royal Belgian Academy Council of Applied Science. Member of SRBE, SEE (Emerite), EPE. Recipient of the 1998 PES Prize Paper Award of IEEE.
