Power Systems Analysis

Power Systems Analysis, Second Edition, describes the operation of the interconnected power system under steady state conditions and under dynamic operating conditions during disturbances. Written at a foundational level, including numerous worked examples of concepts discussed in the text, it provides an understanding of how to keep power flowing through an interconnected grid. The second edition adds more information on power system stability, excitation system, and small disturbance analysis, as well as discussions related to grid integration of renewable power sources. The book is designed to be used as reference, review, or self-study for practitioners and consultants, or for students from related engineering disciplines that need to learn more about power systems. Includes comprehensive coverage of the analysis of power systems, useful as a one-stop resource Features a large number of worked examples and objective questions (with answers) to help apply the material discussed in the book Offers foundational content that provides background and review for the understanding and analysis of more specialized areas of electric power engineering

The capability of effectively analyzing complex systems is fundamental to the operation, management and planning of power systems. This book offers broad coverage of essential power system concepts and features a complete and in-depth account of all the latest developments, including Power Flow Analysis in Market Environment; Power Flow Calculation of AC/DC Interconnected Systems and Power Flow Control and Calculation for Systems Having FACTS Devices and recent results in system stability.

The second edition of Power System Analysis serves as a basic text for undergraduate students of electrical engineering. It provides a thorough understanding of the basic principles and techniques of power system analysis as well as their application to real-world problems. Beginning with the basic concepts, the book gives an exhaustive coverage of transmission line parameters, simulation of power system elements, steady-state performance and travelling wave phenomena on transmission lines, symmetrical and unsymmetrical fault analyses, power flow studies, power system control, and stability analysis. The book extensively illustrates the use of MATLAB in the analysis of power systems. Owing to its lucid style and presentation of advanced topics, the book will be useful to postgraduate students as also to practising engineers.

This updated edition includes: coverage of power-system estimation, including current developments in the field; discussion of system control, which is a key topic covering economic factors of line losses and penalty factors; and new problems and examples throughout.

Computer applications yield more insight into system behavior than is possible by using hand calculations on system elements. Computer-Aided Power Systems Analysis: Second Edition is a state-of-the-art presentation of basic principles and software for power systems in steady-state operation. Originally published in 1985, this revised edition explores power systems from the point of view of the central control facility. It covers the elements of transmission networks, bus reference frame, network fault and contingency calculations, power flow on transmission networks, generator base power setting, and state estimation from on-line measurements. The author develops methods used for full-scale networks. In the process of coding and execution, the user learns how the methods apply to actual networks, develops an understanding of the algorithms, and becomes familiar with the process of varying the parameters of the program. Intended for users with a background that includes AC circuit theory, some basic control theory, and a first course in electronic machinery, this book contains material based upon the author’s experience both in the field and in the classroom, as well as many Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) publications. His mathematical approach and complete explanations allow readers to develop a solid foundation in power systems analysis. This second edition includes a CD-ROM with stand-alone software to perform computations of all principles covered in the chapters. Executable programs include 0,1,2 conversions, double-hung shielded transmission line parameters, zero and positive bus impedance computations for unbalanced faults, power flow, unit commitment, and state estimation.

This book covers the topic from introductory to advanced levels for undergraduate students of Electrical Power and related fields, and for professionals who need a fundamental grasp of power systems engineering. The book also analyses and simulates selected power circuits using appropriate software, and includes a wealth of worked-out examples and practice problems to enrich readers’ learning experience. In addition, the exercise problems provided can be used in teaching courses.
