This practical reference evaluates the performance, safety, and efficiency of a power delivery system-emphasizing the use and interpretation of computational data to assess system operating limits, load level increases, equipment failure, and mitigating procedures through computer-aided analysis to maximize cost-effectiveness.

Includes rarely seen line constant, power flow, and stability problems.

Computer-Aided Power System Analysis features extensive coverage on

• impedance in transmission lines and underground cables
• short circuit causes and solutions
• transient stability investigations
• motor starting and voltage drop calculations
• load flow problems and solutions
• power factor correction
• harmonic sources and filters

Containing more than 600 references, tables, figures, and equations, this indispensable reference is essential reading for electrical and electronics, industrial, transmission, distribution, power, and energy engineers and technicians, and upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in these disciplines.
