Electric Power Systems Analysis" is one of the most challenging courses of the Electric Power Engineering major which is taught for junior students. Its complexity arises from numerous prerequisites, a wide array of topics, and a crucial dependence on computational tools, presenting students with significant challenges." This book serves as a continuation of our previous book, "Fundamentals of Power System Analysis 1, Problems and Solutions", specifically delving into advanced topics in power system analysis. The structure of the "Advanced Topics in Power Systems Analysis" is as follows: "Economic Load Dispatch", "symmetrical and unsymmetrical short circuits", "Transient Stability Analysis", "Power system linear controls" and "Key Concepts in Power System Analysis, Operation, and Control". The structure of the "Fundamentals of Power System Analysis 1" is as follows: "Introduction to the Power System", "Transmission Line Parameters", "Line Model and Performance", "Power Flow Analysis" In brief, advantages associated with delving into both books are: - A variety of tests to prepare for employment exams. - Electrical engineers practicing power system analysis can find almost everything they need. - This book contains both difficult and easy problems and solutions. - Readers have the capability to solve problems presented in this book solely using a calculator, without dependence on computer-based softwares. - This book provides power systems concepts through studying two-choice questions. In the end, we had a great time in writing this book, and we truly hope you enjoy reading it as much as we enjoyed creating it!

The simulation of electromagnetic transients is a mature field that plays an important role in the design of modern power systems. Since the first steps in this field to date, a significant effort has been dedicated to the development of new techniques and more powerful software tools. Sophisticated models, complex solution techniques and powerful simulation tools have been developed to perform studies that are of supreme importance in the design of modern power systems. The first developments of transients tools were mostly aimed at calculating over-voltages. Presently, these tools are applied to a myriad of studies (e.g. FACTS and Custom Power applications, protective relay performance, simulation of smart grids) for which detailed models and fast solution methods can be of paramount importance. This book provides a basic understanding of the main aspects to be considered when performing electromagnetic transients studies, detailing the main applications of present electromagnetic transients (EMT) tools, and discusses new developments for enhanced simulation capability. Key features: Provides up-to-date information on solution techniques and software capabilities for simulation of electromagnetic transients. Covers key aspects that can expand the capabilities of a transient software tool (e.g. interfacing techniques) or speed up transients simulation (e.g. dynamic model averaging). Applies EMT-type tools to a wide spectrum of studies that range from fast electromagnetic transients to slow electromechanical transients, including power electronic applications, distributed energy resources and protection systems. Illustrates the application of EMT tools to the analysis and simulation of smart grids.
