PREFACE :
This book is written primarily as an introduction to the basics of electrical power systems. It is intended as a general introduction to the area for students in all engineering disciplines, as well as being useful as a reference and self-study guide for those professionals who wish to have a succinct introduction to this important area. The coverage of the book is designed to allow its use in a number of ways including service courses taught to non-electrical majors. The organization and details of the material in this book enables maximum flexibility for the instructor to select topics to include in courses within the modem engineering curriculum. The book does not assume a level of mathematical sophistication beyond that acquired through completion of undergraduate courses in basic physics and introductory electric circuits. Emphasis is placed on providing an improved appreciation of the operational characteristics of the electrical apparatus discussed, on the basis of linear mathematical models. Almost every key concept is illustrated through the use of in-text examples that are worked out in detail to enforce the reader’s understanding. The text coverage includes some usage of MATLABTM to solve fundamental problems of evaluating basic performance characteristics to assist in understanding power system devices. The first chapter in this book offers a historical perspective on the t are development of electric power systems. While this topic is not an integral part of conventional coverage in texts and courses in this area, this chapter should provide interesting insights into the influence of these developments on present day civilization. It is through an appreciation of the past developments and achievements that we can understand our present and forge ahead with future advances. Much of the material in Chapters 2 to 7 is derived from the more detailed expose’ found in my earlier book on “Electrical Power System Design and Analysis. The present treatment deals with fimdamental topics to be covered in introductory courses in electric power systems. Emphasis is given to practical aspects such as the main performance characteristics of the apparatus discussed and system applications. In Chapter 2, a review of fundamentals of electric circuits that are necessary for the studies to follow. Chapter 3 discusses the basics of synchronous machines for steady state operations. This is followed by treatments of the transformer in Chapter 4 and power transmission lines in Chapter 5. Unlike the coverage of the more detailed “Electric Power Systems: Design and Analysis,” Chapter 6 of the present book deals with Induction Motors both polyphase and single phase machines. In addition, Chapter 7 combines both fault analysis and protection.
