From the reviews: "The book Autonomous Systems and Intelligent Agents in Power System Control and Operation by Christian Rehtanz provides a current overview of robust approaches to power system automation and control system autonomy, and uses a number of contributors to discuss key topics. ... The author characterizes several of the concerns, such as restoration and situational awareness, with a practical approach that engineers in the field can use as a basis for future designs. The graduate student in the power area would also benefit ... ." (Craig Rieger, International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, Issue 16, 2006)
