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.
