This text is intended for undergraduates studying power system analysis and design. It gives an introduction to fundamental concepts and modern topics with applications to real-world problems. This is the first text in this area to fully integrate MATLAB and SIMULINK throughout. It also provides students with an author-developed POWER TOOLBOX DISK organized to perform analyses and explore power system design issues with ease.
Course Reserves Collections provides access to items suggested or recommended by course instructors for their students. All reserves items will be placed in Course Reserves Collections which is located on first level, next to Access Service Desk.
The new edition of Power Systems Analysis and Design text provides students with an introduction to the basic concepts of power systems along with tools to aid them in applying these skills to real world situations. Physical concepts are highlighted while also giving necessary attention to mathematical techniques. Both theory and modeling are developed from simple beginnings so that they can be readily extended to new and complex situations. The authors incorporate new tools and material to aid students with design issues and reflect recent trends in the field.
In simple language, the book provides a modern introduction to power system operation, control and analysis. Key Features of the Third Edition : New chapters added on : Power System Security. State Esitmation. Power System Compensation including SVS and FACTS. Load Forecasting. Voltage Stability New appendices on : MATLAB and SIMULINK demonstrating their use in problem solving. Real time computer control of power systems
This is the first book on power system analysis to explore the major changes in the structure and operation of the electric utility industry, and to show how power system operation will be affected by the new changes. It reflects the trends in state-of-the-art,computer-basedpower system analysis and shows how to applyeach modern analysis toolin designing and improving an expansion of an existing power system.KEY FEATURES:Features a computer-based design example (carried out from chapter-to-chapter) which uses all the analysis. As the example develops, readers determine the parameter values for a proposed transmission system upgrade to support load growth and a new steel mill being located in the area; convert all the parameters to per unit -- the preferred choice of units for system analysis; determine typical parameters for the generators in the system being designed; develop the admittance matrix and the impedance matrix for the system being designed; conduct the power flow and check the designed system for possible violations, and appropriately modify the design; and conduct a contingency analysis on the designed system; analyze the behavior of the designed system under faulted condition; continue the design with a selection of relay settings to protect the system in the event of these faulted conditions; and perform a transient stability simulation on the system and verify the ability of the system to remain stable.For engineers working in the electric utility industry.
Based on William Stevenson's classic, Elements of Power System Analysis, this new senior/graduate text offers a completely modern update of this popular textbook. Covering such topics as power flow, power-system stability and transmission lines, the book teaches the fundamental topics of power system analysis accompanied by logical discussions and numerous examples.
In SI units, this book presents a systematic exposition of the basic principles involved in the operation, control and analysis of modern power systems. The various principles of power system analysis are illustrated through the simplest system structure and integrated with analysis techniques of practical size systems.Other Important features of the book :Load Flow and Optimal System Operation discussed in detail and recent developments in the area highlighted;Power SystemTransients, Circuits Breakers and Protection thoroughly explained; Computational algorithms for various system studies presented; Exposition illustrated exhaustively through solved examples employing a two-bus structure; Three and four-bus examples given wherever necessary;Severalunsolved problems with answers presented at the end of each chapter for practice and self-evaluation.
