Electrical Power Systems

Now in its second edition, this textbook provides undergraduate students of electrical engineering with a unified treatment of all aspects of modern power systems, including generation, transmission and distribution of electric power, load flow studies, economic considerations, fault analysis and stability, high voltage phenomena, system protection, power control, and so on. The text systematically deals with the fundamental techniques in power systems, coupled with adequate analytical techniques and reference to practices in the field. Special emphasis is placed on the latest developments in power system engineering. The book will also be useful to postgraduate students specialising in power systems and practising engineers as a reference. New to this edition The chapters on Elements of Electric Power Generation and Power System Economics have been thoroughly updated. A new chapter on Control of Active and Reactive Power has been added.
