Frequency control as a major function of automatic generation control is one of the important control problems in electric power system design and operation, and is becoming more signi?cant today because of the increasing size, changing structure, emerging new uncertainties, environmental constraints and the complexity of power systems. In the last two decades, many studies have focused on damping control and vo- age stability and the related issues, but there has been much less work on the power system frequency control analysis and synthesis. While some aspects of frequency control have been illustrated along with individual chapters, many conferences and technical papers, a comprehensive and sensible practical explanation of robust f- quency control in a book form is necessary. This book provides a thorough understanding of the basic principles of power system frequency behaviour in wide range of operating conditions. It uses simple frequency response models, control structures andmathematical algorithms to adapt modern robust control theorems with frequency control issue and conceptual exp- nations. Most developed control strategies are examined by real-time simulations. Practical methods for computer analysis and design are emphasized. This book emphasizes the physical and engineering aspects of the power s- tem frequency control design problem, providing a conceptual understanding of frequency regulation, and application of robust control techniques. The main aim is to develop an appropriate intuition relative to the robust load frequency regulation problem in real-world power systems, rather than to describe sophisticated mat- matical analytical methods.

From the reviews:

"This book provides a through understanding of the basic principles of power system frequency behavior in wide range of operating conditions. … The presence of the numerous examples given in the monograph is a convincing message how complexities in physical processes could hinder robust control analysis and synthesis. This book could be useful for engineers and operators in power system planning and operation, as well as for academic researchers. … the book will be cited in many lists of references in the control literature." (Vasile Dragan, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1163, 2009)

“This book is written for engineers, researchers, and students in the field of power system planning and operation.” (IEEE Control Systems Magazine, Vol. 30, February, 2010)
