Preface

Voltage security is recognized as a key issue for power systems operation. The continuous increase in loads, along with economic and environmental constraints, has led the systems to operate close to their limits, and this includes voltage security limits. Academicians as well as practicing engineers are switching over to studies of the numerous problems associated with the planning and operation of large interconnected power systems. Courses in power system analysis are being updated to reflect the importance of new tools such as computer, control, and systems theory. During the last 30 years, several papers and conference reports on power system voltage security have been published throughout the world, indicating the continuing interest of electrical engineers in this field. During these years, this su
