About Book:
Since the appearance of the third edition in 2007, a sea-change has occurred in the energy and power sectors. As a consequence, a sizable portion of the existing content had to be expanded and rewritten. A large number of teaching appendices of the edition have been rewritten as full-fledge chapters, since all these topics continue to be important parts of the curriculum. We hope students and teachers will welcome this.
Salient Features and New to Edition
- Recent developments in the area of power systems
- Computation algorithms for various system studies.
- Current and future India/world energy scenario
- New chapters on power system transients and HVDC, without which power system courses cannot be taught. The chapter on system transients also with insulation coordination, lightning phenomena and neutral grounding .without studying HVDC, electric power transmission is incomplete. Knowledge of power electronics, AC/DC conversion, working of converters actually help in understanding this vital chapter.
- A large number of new teaching appendices.
- Large number of solved examples and unsolved problems with answers at the end of each chapter for practice and self evaluation.
- A large number of multiple-choice questions with answers at the end of each chapter have been added
MATLAB and SIMULINK programs along with 18 solved examples illustrating use in solving representative power system problems.
