A. K. MUKHOPADHYAY, Ph.D., is former Vice Chancellor of Tripura University and former Professor of Electrical Engineering in the Department of Applied Physics of Calcutta University. Being recipient of several awards, Mukhopadhyay has published 120 research papers in national and international journals and also published books in various fields of electrical engineering.
D.P. KOTHARI, Ph.D., is Professor, Centre for Energy Studies, and Deputy Director (Administration), Indian Institute of Technology Delhi. He has also been the Head of the Centre for Energy Studies (1995-97), and Principal (1997-98) of Visvesvaraya Regional Engineering College, Nagpur. Earlier (1982-83 and 1989), he was a visiting fellow at RMIT, Melbourne, Australia.
ABHINANDAN DE, Ph.D., is Senior Lecturer in the Department of Electrical Engineering, Bengal Engineering and Science University, Shibpur. Actively involved in research and consultancy work, he has published more than 30 research papers in peer reviewed international journals.
ABHIJIT CHAKRABARTI is Professor, Department of Electrical Engineering, Bengal Engineering and Science University, Shibpur, Howrah. A Fellow of the Institution of Engineers (India), he has published/presented 85 research papers in international and national journals and conferences and authored/co-authored ten books on electrical engineering.

This text, intended for the students pursuing postgraduate programmes in Electrical Engineering, focuses special attention on the implications of reactive power in voltage stability of transmission systems. The basic concepts of power system stability and other operational aspects have been discussed. Both the advanced and the practical aspects have been highlighted. Modern concepts and applications, theoretical as well as simulated study, have been presented wherever necessary. In brief, the text presents a complete overview of the research and engineering aspects of the problem of stability, suitable both for academics and practising engineers, along with a brief historical review of the concerned topics.

In some instances the authors have included some of their own research results while maintaining the uniformity of overall treatment of the book. The text is replete with examples and is backed up by analytical derivations and physical interpretations, wherever considered necessary.
