Overview
Power System Analysis is designed for senior undergraduate or graduate electrical engineering students studying power system analysis and design. The book gives readers a thorough understanding of the fundamental concepts of power system analysis and their applications to real-world problems. MATLAB and SIMULINK, ideal for power system analysis, are integrated into the text, which enables students to confidently apply the analysis to the solution of large practical power systems with ease.
New to this Edition
The first edition of Power System Analysis, published in 1999, was the
first text on power systems that integrated
MATLAB and SIMULINK accompanied by a Power System
Toolbox for easily performing large-scale practical systems
analysis and simulation. My goal has been
to provide powerful software tools for students to
learn the theory and problem-solving skills for
power system analysis.
The second edition follows the same structure as the previous edition, and I
still believe that the assignment of
computer exercises in parallel with manual
calculations can help students to develop a
stronger intuition and a deeper understanding of
power system analysis. Accordingly, one major
improvement that I have made in this edition is to
include several Graphical User Interface (GUI)
programs that are interactive and menu driven so students do not need to
perform the laborious calculations required
to solve meaningful problems, thereby enhancing
the learning process.
The Power System Toolbox supplied with the book has been revised and
expanded. All the programs, functions, and
SIMULINK diagrams have been upgraded to run on the
latest version of both the professional and
student edition of MATLAB (v6.1).
All MATLAB files are
downward compatible with the earlier
versions, except the GUI programs,
which have been designed with version 6.1
and will not run on the earlier versions.
The list of the new GUI programs is
tabulated in Appendix C. Appendix A has been
extended and revised to
include the more recent MATLAB
developments and extended graphical
facilities.
Features
The author-developed power system toolbox offers students the opportunity for hands-on
experience in the design and analysis of power systems without the burden of detail
programming. This ready-access toolbox enables the students to confidently apply the
analysis to the solution of large practical power systems. As a consequence of these
features, the book is a superior foundation for further study of power systems and
advanced analyses. The MATLAB M-files on the accompanying diskette can be copied to the user's computer
and used to solve all the examples and the problems at the end of the Chap.s. The
toolbox contains numerous interactive functions and practical programs for typical power
system analyses that are designed to work in synergy and communicate with each other
through the use of global variables. The book is distinguished by the emphasis on the integration and implementation of the
computer-aided analysis and design that permeate the entire text. This integrated approach
not only fosters the continued use of the computer throughout the curriculum, but supports
the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) requirements which
specifically call for the use of the computer in the solution of engineering problems. With this book, the files included on diskette, and a suitable computer, users will
find numerous opportunities to apply the techniques presented in solving sophisticated and
large interconnected power systems with ease. Appendices include an introduction to MATLAB, SIMULINK, and an introduction to relevant control system topics.
