This comprehensive text offers a detailed treatment of modelling of components and sub-systems for studying the transient and dynamic stability of large-scale power systems. Beginning with an overview of basic concepts of stability of simple systems, the book is devoted to in-depth coverage of modelling of synchronous machine and its excitation systems and speed governing controllers. Apart from covering the modelling aspects, methods of interfacing component models for the analysis of small-signal stability of power systems are presented in an easy-to-understand manner.The book also offers a study of simulation of transient stability of power systems as well as electromagnetic transients involving synchronous machines.Practical data pertaining to power systems, numerical examples and derivations are interspersed throughout the text to give students practice in applying key concepts.This text serves as a well-knit introduction to Power System Dynamics and is suitable for a one-semester course for the senior-level undergraduate students of electrical engineering and postgraduate students specializing in Power Systems.
Medium-voltage direct current (MVDC) power system has been considered the trending technology for future all-electric ships to produce, convert and distribute electrical power with improved connectivity, reliability and power quality. However, with the substantial employment of high-frequency power electronics converters in the MVDC system, the corresponding analysis of system stability and especially the accurate assessment of system dynamic behaviours following disturbances have become serious concerns for system studies and control designs. In this study, an analytical time-domain modelling methodology that leverages average-value modelling techniques is developed for MVDC shipboard power system to facilitate the system-level transient analysis. The accuracy of the proposed approach is verified by comparing the simulation results to the equivalent Simulink benchmarks. In contrast with the high-fidelity model and the conventional modelling approach which only captures the steady-state characteristics of the system, the proposed method is proven to be effectively and accurately simulate the system behaviour during the transient phase with enough details to verify and refine related system-level dynamic analysis and control design.
One of the global energy trends is the introduction of distributed generating facilities (distributed generation, DG). Therefore, the ongoing transformation of electric power systems (EPS) significantly changes the properties of power systems. Problems arise with ensuring sustainability, which is generally the main condition for validity and survivability of energy districts with DG facilities and EPS. Moreover, ensuring sustainability under remarkable perturbation remains one of the main tasks. This problem is mainly solved via mathematical modeling. However, the necessary EPS mathematical model of real dimension contains a rigid nonlinear system of differential equations of an extremely high order. Simplifications and restrictions, which reduce the completeness and significance of the obtained simulation results, are inevitably applied to improve the conditionality of the EPS mathematical model in numerical integration. Such an application requires verification. This article proposes a direction of verification alternative to the existing ones based on the use of a model standard instead of full-scale data. Such verification reveals the influence of the applied simplifications and limitations in numerical modeling on the quality of solving the sustainability estimation problems of an EPS with a DG under remarkable perturbation. The studies presented in this article are conducted using the example of an energy district with DG facilities included in EPS with real dimensions. The findings of these studies demonstrate the resulting errors of stability calculations under remarkable perturbation, the nature of their change and the causes of occurrence, as well as the influencing factors.

Abstract: System dynamics and agent-based simulation modelling approaches have a potential as tools to evaluate the impact of policy related decision making in food value chains. The context is that a food value chain involves flows of multiple products, financial flows and decision making among the food value chain players. Each decision may be viewed from the level of independent actors, each with their own motivations and agenda, but responding to externalities and to the behaviours of other actors. The focus is to show how simulation modelling can be applied to problems such as fairness and power asymmetries in European food value chains by evaluating the outcome of interventions in terms of relevant operational indicators of interorganisational fairness (e.g., profit distribution, market power, bargaining power). The main concepts of system dynamics and agent-based modelling are introduced and the applicability of a hybrid of these methods to food value chains is justified. This approach is outlined as a research agenda, and it is demonstrated how cognitive maps can help in the initial conceptual model building when implemented for specific food value chains studied in the EU Horizon 2020 VALUMICS project. The French wheat to bread chain has many characteristics of food value chains in general and is applied as an example to formulate a model that can be extended to capture the functioning of European FVCs. This work is to be further progressed in a subsequent stream of research for the other food value chain case studies with different governance modes and market organisation, in particular, farmed salmon to fillet, dairy cows to milk and raw tomato to processed tomato. Keywords: food value chain; system dynamics; agent-based modelling; hybrid method; governance; interorganisational fairness
