the bible of power systems!

Oh babe, this book is way beyond the words to describe.. The power system bible, U wont find any other good book that explains the complexity of power system flow, faults, TL modelin per units, power stability... than this book. I loved The way how he explained the zero sequence of different power system elements. Great!!!

Excellent P.E. Review Book

One of the best books written on the subject of Power System analysis. This book has a very good approach to power system problems with many solved examples and many more problems at the end of each chapter. I recommend anyone taking the P.E. exam to have this book as a reference for Power System problems.

Review of Elements of Power System Analysis

This has been the bible of electrical power systems for the past 44 years so don't leave home without it ! It is a classic well-written textbook that stresses the important fundmantals of power system analysis with clarity that I have not seen in any other power book. Although other books may be fatter and contain more details, this book remains the best by wisely avoiding falling in the often tempting trap of computational details of numerical techniques and remains faithful to the basic principles. The chapters are just of the right length with many examples and clear explanations. It feels so good for the student and the professor to cover each chapter in about a week. I have used this book as a student and as an instructor and my recommendation is this: stick with this original classic and avoid the imitations! You will never regret it !

Good book, however it lacks asnwers for the exercises.

In general I liked the book. The only restriction is that it should have answers for the proposed exercises.
