About the Book

Modern Power System Analysis, Second Edition introduces readers to electric power systems, with an emphasis on key topics in modern power transmission engineering. Throughout, the book familiarizes readers with concepts and issues relevant to the power utility industry.

A Classroom-Tested Power Engineering Text That Focuses on Power Transmission

Drawing on the author’s industry experience and more than 42 years teaching courses in electrical machines and electric power engineering, this book explains the material clearly and in sufficient detail, supported by extensive numerical examples and illustrations. New terms are defined when they are first introduced, and a wealth of end-of-chapter problems reinforce the information presented in each chapter.

Topics covered include:

• Power system planning
• Transmission line parameters and the steady-state performance of transmission lines
• Disturbance of system components
• Symmetrical components and sequence impedances
• Analysis of balanced and unbalanced faults—including shunt, series, and simultaneous faults
• Transmission line protection
• Load-flow analysis
