ABOUT THE BOOK:

The book provides a clear, systematic and exhaustive exposition of the various dimensions of electrical power systems, both at basic and advanced levels, explained and illustrated through solved examples.

Salient Features:

* Fundamentals of power systems, line constant calculations and performance of overhead lines
* Mechanical design of lines, HVDC lines, corona, insulators and insulated cables
* Voltage control, neutral grounding and transients in power systems
* Fault calculation, protective relays including digital relays and circuit breakers
* Power systems synchronous stability and voltage stability
* Insulation coordination and over voltage protection
* Modern topics like load flows, economic load dispatch, load frequency control and compensation in power system.
* State estimation in power systems, unit commitment, economic scheduling of hydrothermal plants and optimal power flows
* Zbus formulation, power transformers and synchronous machines as power system elements
* Large number of solved examples, practice problems and multiple choice questions.
