Power system operation

Targeted at power system operators, particularly dispatchers, this revised book provides clear and simple descriptions of power system behavior and the effects of various control actions. Stressing basic principles rather than specific technologies, it discusses subjects such as electrical circuits, energy transfer, and VAR flows and control. End of chapter summaries and questions provide a quick review of the data. Mathematics within the text is kept to a minimum, and developed in the appendix. The use of computers in economic loading and system control is new to this edition. This invaluable book will aid power system operators in minimizing the costs of operation and improving overall job performance.
