Electric Power Systems Author:Syed A. Nasar, F.C. Trutt 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 t... more »ext focuses on three major points:oPower flowoFault calculationsoPower systems stabilityUsing commercially available software packages, Electric Power Systems includes illustrative computer solutions for both utility and industrial systems.Chapters discuss:obasic concepts relating to power and energyoac circuit analysis - emphasizing three-phase circuitsovarious components of a power system and their simplified modelsosingle-line and reactance diagrams representing a power system with the interconnecting componentsopower flowobalanced and unbalanced fault calculationsopower system protectionoanalytical and numerical solutions to power system stability problemsoeconomic 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.« less
