Power System Analysis & Stability

“This book has been written to meet the requirements of students studying for electrical engineering at the undergraduate level and also for those appearing for other professional examinations. Courses vary so much, however, that some institutions may also find it useful for a first course for post-graduates. With this end in view, some advanced topics have been included at appropriate places in the book together with up-to-date information. The book should also be useful to the electrical engineers presently involved with power network calculations.

It is expected the student has already had a first course in general electrical engineering. He should also have been expected to Laplace transform, elementary control theory, and linear differential equations. Matrix analysis is used throughout the text. However, the simplest of matrix operations suffice, and they are summarized in Appendix A-I for those students not familiar with this tool.

The digital computer, however, is an indispensable tool in the area of power system engineering. Programming has no place in this book, but the usefulness of computer is emphasised at appropriate places.” * Introduction * Basic Concepts * Per Unit Quantities * Static Load Modelling * Load Forecasting * The Synchronous Machine * Mechanical Design of Overhead Lines * Parameters of Transmission Lines * Models and Performance of Transmission Lines * Alternating Current Power Transmission at Extra High Voltage (E.H.V.) * Voltage Control * Network Equations And Solutions * Load-Flow Studies * Economic Dispatch * Load- Frequency Control * Symmetrical Components * Analysis of Power Systems Subjected to Symmetrical and Unsymmetrical Fault * Power System Stability * Excitation Systems * HVDC Transmission.
