Electric Power Systems

Omtale

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 flowFault calculationsPower systems stabilityUsing 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 energyac circuit analysis - emphasizing three-phase circuitsvarious components of a power system and their simplified modelssingle-line and reactance diagrams representing a power system with the interconnecting componentspower flowbalanced and unbalanced fault calculationspower system protectionanalytical and numerical solutions to power system stability problemseconomic power dispatch and control of power systemsWritten 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.
