DESCRIPTION:
Readers are then introduced to the main components of electric power systems, including generators, motors and other appliances, and transmission and distribution equipment such as power lines, transformers, and circuit breakers. Its discussions of complex concepts such as reactive power balance, load flow, and stability analysis, for example, offer deep insight into the complexity of electric grid operation and demonstrate how and why physics constrains economics and politics.Although this survival guide includes mathematical equations and formulas, it discusses their meaning in plain English and does not assume any prior familiarity with particular notations or technical jargon. Additional features include:A glossary of symbols, units, abbreviations, and a
Dave said This book was great, I completed my degree in Electrical Engineering last. This book was great, I completed my degree in Electrical Engineering last year and it's a nice review, plus I've learned a lot that I didn't pick up on during school.. Just Right - Not Too Technical nor Too Basic The author's stated intention is to bridge the gap between formal engineering texts and the more popular descriptions of electric power technology - between the easy-to-read, qualitative descriptions for laypersons and highly technical books and papers for professionals and EE majors. She begins with the basic quantities of electricity.One coulomb (C) corresponds to the charge of 6.25 X 10 (18th) protons or electrons.When a charge (an excess or deficit of electrons) is applied to one side of a conducting material, the electrons throughout realign themselves, spreading out by virtue of their mut. One of the best conceptual text books R. Ghaffari As an electrical engineer I was really impressed that how clear and fluent the most difficult concepts were mentioned with a language that all formidable formulas in power system become easily understandable. I recommend this book to all electric power engineers and students.
Recognizing the economic and environmental implications of electric energy production and public concern over disruptions of service, this book exposes the challenges of producing and delivering electricity to help inform public policy decisions. Additional features include: * A glossary of symbols, units, abbreviations, and acronyms * Illustrations that help readers visualize processes and better understand complex concepts * Detailed analysis of a case study, including a Web reference to the case, enabling re
