Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on recommendations for a comprehensive book on Electric Power Systems suitable for refreshing knowledge in the field. Key topics of interest include components of a power system, control of power and frequency, voltage and reactive power control, load flow, faults, and protections. Participants suggest looking for a modern text that encompasses all these areas in one volume, particularly for undergraduate studies. One mentioned title is "Power System Analysis & Design" by Glover, Sarma, and Overbye, although it may not fully meet all specified requirements.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Electric Power System components
  • Knowledge of power and frequency control mechanisms
  • Familiarity with voltage and reactive power control
  • Basic concepts of load flow analysis and fault protection
NEXT STEPS
  • Research modern textbooks on Electric Power Systems for undergraduate courses
  • Explore comprehensive resources covering load flow analysis techniques
  • Investigate current standards in voltage and reactive power control
  • Look into fault analysis and protection strategies in power systems
USEFUL FOR

Electrical engineering students, professionals seeking to update their knowledge, and educators looking for current teaching materials on Electric Power Systems.

Summary:: Electric Power Systems book recommendation

Hi everyone, I finished my Electrical Engineering degree 15 years ago and wanted to refresh/review/update my knowledge on Electrical Power Systems.

I'm looking for a book recommendation that has: components of a power system, control of Power and Frequency, Control of Voltage and Reactive Power, Load Flow, faults, protections, etc.

I'd like something up to date and, if possible, everything included in 1 book.

It would be helpful for example something that they recommend now for undergrad students on Electric Power Systems at universities.

I'm all ears for recommendations!

Thanks everyone!

PS: Softcover if possible...

Sorry, my recommendations are too old.
 
Power System Analysis & Design by Glover, Sarma, Overbye, is one text I used in my early Graduate studies. It doesn't cover all of your requirements though. However, you can find older editions fairly reasonable.
