Power System Analysis

by Charles A. Gross

Book Overview

Provides a basic comprehensive treatment of the major electrical engineering problems associated with the design and operation of electric power systems. The major components of the power system are modeled in terms of their sequence (symmetrical component) equivalent circuits. Reviews power flow, fault analysis, economic dispatch, and transient stability in power systems.

Good service

The product was good and it came right on time as promised. Good one and i will come back for my future requirements. Thanks

Classic Text

This book is truly a classic in the power engineering field. I consider this book good for the following reasons: a) The book covers the "bread and butter" issues that every power systems engineer would need. An outstanding example of this is the fact that the book covers protective relaying. b)The book uses straightforward examples. I consider this book on par with Stevenson's Power Systems Analysis book in that it is not cluttered with mathematical manipulation. While no one can argue that computers play a bigger role in power systems computation today than they did even 10 years ago, many of the other books on my book shelf collect dust because Gross's book takes the time to go into why we are doing calculations and what they mean. It is relatively unimportant how you make calculations than what they mean and how to use them. I have heard Dr. Charlie Gross lecture in continuing education courses at Auburn and I can attest to his skill in explaining things to students.

Avoided the Best Mistakes

Nobody's reviewed this yet? What's going on here? I've had this for many years, and I probably learned most of what I know about power systems from it. If you've tried many highly technical books, you'll REALLY understand when I say that it's just a plain, old, decent book -- does what it's supposed to do without any of it botched. He covers both equipment and connections and, e.g., positive/negative/zero sequence analytical stuff. If you're not eating beans and rice 3 times a day due to low income, this is an investment for you! By the way, Gross has long been the Square D Professor at Auburn U.
