Part of the book series: Understanding Complex Systems ((UCS))

Abstract

ChapterĀ 4 reviews the concepts of static stability, dynamic stability, eigenanalysis, and Lyapunov analysis required for the development of necessary and sufficient conditions for stability of a class of nonlinear systems, Hamiltonian natural systems. The combination of static stability of conservative systems and dynamic stability of adiabatic irreversible work processes in the form of exergy and entropy rate equations will be utilized to develop Hamiltonian Surface Shaping and Power Flow Control (HSSPFC).
