Power Engineering and Power Electronics

This comprehensive resource presents the fundamentals of power systems, including the theory, practical ste ps, and methodssed in the design and management of energy systems. Readers are provided with a uniquely compre hensive derivation of power electronics and will find practi cal advice based on actual occurrences in the field using real life scenarios.

This book offers a direct mathematical approach for models of the main components in an electrical power system. This resource gives insight into power transformer modeling , transmission line and cable modeling, transmission line load ability, power flows, and real and reactive power a nd frequency control. General fault studies in elect rical power systems and state estimation in electrical power system s are also explored.
