| The field of
electrical engineering has become increasingly
diversified, resulting in a spectrum of emerging
topics - from microelectromechanics to light-wave
technology.
Keeping pace with
progressing technology, and covering the scope of
related subjects, Electric Power Systems provides
introductory, fundamental knowledge in several
areas.
The text focuses on three major points:
- Power flow
- Fault calculations
- Power systems
stability
Using commercially
available software packages, Electric Power Systems
includes illustrative computer solutions for both
utility and industrial systems.
Chapters discuss:
- basic concepts
relating to power and energy
- ac circuit
analysis - emphasizing three-phase circuits
- various components
of a power system and their simplified models
- single-line and
reactance diagrams representing a power system
with the interconnecting components
- power flow
- balanced and
unbalanced fault calculations
- power system
protection
- analytical and
numerical solutions to power system stability
problems
- economic power
dispatch and control of power systems
Written in a clear,
lively style, Electric Power Systems illustrates its
concepts and methods with many examples, inspired by
real-life applications.
This work
exceptionally fills the need for a textbook teaching
the subject in a one-semester sequence.
