It exploits new enabling technologies such as Voltage Source Converter High Voltage Direct Current (VSC-HVDC) lines, both single and multi-terminal, and Wide Area Measurement Systems (WAMS) to reduce the risks of instability associated with greater utilisation of modern power systems. New control systems for these technologies have been analysed, and subsequently designed, using advanced probabilistic analysis techniques to ensure that they are robust to the variable and turbulent conditions expected in the future. The advanced probabilistic techniques used in the thesis for both system analysis and controller design represent one of the first such applications in open literature. 410 0$aSpringer theses. 606 $aElectric power distribution 606 $aElectric network analyzers 615 0$aElectric power distribution. 615 0$aElectric network analyzers. 676 $a621.3192 700 $aPreece$b Robin$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0981956 801 0$bMiFhGG 801 1$bMiFhGG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910437930003321 996 $aImproving the Stability of Meshed Power Networks$92241090 997 $aUNINA
