Introduction

Power system stability and control refers to keep desired performance and stabilizing power system following various disturbances, such as short circuits, loss of generation, and load. This chapter provides a brief discussion on the power system stability and control in modern renewable integrated power systems and the current state of this topic are given. One of the important steps of reliable and performant control system design is defining the performance specifications. It depends on the features of the controller design method, the constraints on the controller structure, the achievable performance that is limited by the physical constraints, the industrial standards on the limit of the variables, the limits of the actuators, etc. The chapter also emphasizes data‐driven wide‐area power system monitoring and control, and shows the significance of measurement‐based dynamic modeling and parameter estimation.
