Electrical Power System Essentials
Description
This unique approach distinguishes it from other text books on Electrical Power Systems and makes the resource highly accessible for undergraduate students and readers without a technical background directly related to power engineering. After laying out the basics for a steady-state analysis of the three-phase power system, the book examines: * generation, transmission, distribution, and utilization of electric energy * wind energy, solar energy and hydro power * power system protection and circuit breakers * power system control and operation * the organization of electricity markets and the changes currently taking place * system blackouts * future developments in power systems, HVDC connections and smart grids The book is supplemented by a companion website from which teaching materials can be downloaded.
