Power Systems Analysis

I used this book to teach Power Systems course to undergrads last term. I found the book very well structured, very good examples and end of chapter problems. The mathematics in the course are what you should expect any future engineer should be able to handle.I am giving this book a 4 star, only because it misses simulations. I believe that nowadays no course should be given out without some type of software resources. We used PowerWorld for this course, but it would have been much more illustrative if the book was prepared with such material.

I work for an electrical utility now, and when I bought this I was a student tearing my hair out over my first power systems classes at university. If you're buying this, you're probably a student and have to buy it because it's required for your class. But do yourself a favor, and unless you drop the class and decide that power systems isn't for you, do not under any circumstances sell this book back. Keep it, it will be a very useful resource in the future. 90% of the stuff that's in this book I use only on a few rare occasions, and it's really nice to have the reference there when I need to make some kind of an unbalanced fault current calculation or something.

This book is a great reference to have on the table. I made the purchase to aid in my current research on computational solutions for transmission systems analytics and it has proven to be invaluable. The book is perfect for the reader who is already competent in the topics presented and is looking to jump into more advanced numerical and analytical solution techniques. The book is in no way a conceptual introduction to material presented (as should be gathered from the last word in the title).

Content wise, this book is great for understanding the mathematics utilized in power systems analysis and commercial analysis software. Unfortunately, the book is expensive, even in the soft cover version. Also the binding on the soft cover version is terrible. I've owned the book for a month and it is already starting to fall apart.... Not very happy with that aspect.

Very tough examples, the author should provide a manual answers appendix for all questions in the end of chapters .

Surprisingly this book is a great practical reference for practicing power systems engineers. There are several key problems that may be useful in practice that were very helpful.

Good technical book that delves into the mathematics of high-voltage transmission and distribution systems. Not for the beginner, though, but mathematics are necessary if you want a complete understanding of how this stuff works. Great reference for electric utility professionals or anyone involved with an electric utility...consultants, industrial electrical engineers, etc. The book has some good appendices that include basic control theory methods (root-locus method, etc.), magnetic force generation, negative- and zero-sequence impedances of synchronous machines, and electric and other data for transmission line conductors, among other topics of interest.

This is a good book for power systems analysis. It would have been nice as a hardcover. Other than that it is a quality book that has very detailed and helpful examples to help convey the complicated material.

When I was a student I was on a limited budget.It was the first edition and I xeroxed the required chapters.Later in industry I worked in this subject.Today its a much harder book than others, but yet its known as the most complete at the upper level course requirementsin Electrical Engineering.I have the 2nd edition now with added chapters which is encouraging.I will not discourage students and professionals from purchasing it.

Excelente livro. Porém, ainda prefiro o livro do Stevenson Power System Analysis.

When I first open the book, the book was cut in half !!!The quality of the glue that fix paper is poor.
