Principles of Power Engineering Analysis

<p><strong>Principles of Power Engineering Analysis</strong> presents the basic tools required to understand the components in an electric power transmission system. Classroom-tested at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute this text is the only up-to-date one available that covers power system analysis at the graduate level.</p><p>The book explains from first principles the expressions that predict the performance of transmission systems and transformers. It then extends these concepts to balanced three-phase systems and unbalanced systems. The authors proceed to introduce symmetrical component analysis of transmission systems three-phase transformers and faulted systems. They also describe the design of untransposed transmission lines and discuss other analysis component systems such as Clarke component networks.</p><p>Despite the tremendous changes that have occurred in the electrical industry over the last forty years the need for a fundamental understanding of power system analysis has not changed. Suitable for a one-semester course this book develops the necessary concepts in depth and illustrates the application of three-phase electric power transmission.</p>
