Dr. Mladen Kezunovic, the Eugene E. Webb Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Texas A&M University, recently published a book as part of an initiative funded by the Department of Energy (DOE).
Kezunovic, along with his co-authors Sakis Meliopoulos (Georgia Tech), Vaithianathan Venkatasubramanian (Washington State University), and Vijay Vittal (Arizona State University), wrote the book titled "Application of Time-Synchronized Measurements in Power System Transmission Networks."
The focus of the book is an overview of the new most critical power system applications during disturbances: state estimation, voltage stability, oscillation monitoring, transient stability and fault location. The book, which was published by Springer in the Series of Power Electronics and Power Systems, was created through the "Future Grid Initiative" funded by the DOE under a grant to the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Power Systems Engineering Research Center (PSERC).
Kezunovic, who also is the director of the TEES Smart Grid Center, currently serves as the site director of PSerc. Before joining Texas A&M in 1986 he worked for Westinghouse Electric Corp.
Among his many honors, Kezunovic has been named an IEEE Fellow and a CIGRE Fellow. He has published more than 450 papers in journals and conference proceedings and was invited to give more than 100 lectures worldwide and is listed as a distinguished speaker of the IEEE PES. While at Texas A&M he has been the principal investigator on more than 100 research projects and supervised more than 40 graduate students.
