Half a century of computer methods in power system analysis, planning and operations: Part II: Glenn W. Stagg and his contributions to advancing the technology

Abstract

This paper is the second paper devoted to the contributions of Glenn W. Stagg to the advancement of the stateof-the-art in power system analysis, planning and operations. It provides a critical review and assessment of his work in the fields of: computer method development; faults and short circuit analysis; load-flow and stability computation techniques; and energy management systems. Also emphasized are the far reaching consequences of Glenn W. Stagg's seminal work, which eventually opened the road for some of the advanced applications of today that were not even conceivable during those pioneering years. It is hoped that this succinct overview of his work will serve as motivation and inspirational example for students, researchers and power system professionals.
