Power System Analysis and Design / J. Duncan Glover, Thomas J. Overbye and Mulukutla S. Sarma

Introduce the basic concepts of power systems as well as the tools students need to apply these skills to real world situations with POWER SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND DESIGN, 6E. This new edition highlights physical concepts while also giving necessary attention to mathematical techniques. The authors develop both theory and modeling from simple beginnings so students are prepared to readily extend these principles to new and complex situations. Software tools including PowerWorld® Simulation, and the latest content throughout this edition aid students with design issues while reflecting the most recent trends in the field.

POWERWORLD® SIMULATION IS INTEGRATED THROUGHOUT THIS EDITION. Your students work with the latest PowerWorld® Simulator package version 19, which extends the book's fully worked examples into computer implementations of the solutions. Author Thomas Overbye, who is also the founder of PowerWorld®, ensures seamless integration of software with the book's content. Please note that PowerWorld is only compatible with Microsoft Windows operating systems.
FOCUS ON REAL WORLD APPLICATIONS KEEPS CONTENT RELEVANT FOR STUDENTS. The authors present contemporary, practical applications and the most recent, emerging technologies along with trusted coverage of the ongoing restructuring of today's electric utility industry.
DETAILED DESIGN PROBLEMS PREPARE STUDENTS FOR PROFESSIONAL SUCCESS. Five long-term design projects meet ABET requirements and provide hands-on experience to equip students with the skills to resolve common on-the-job challenges.
NEW CHAPTER-OPENING CASE STUDIES HIGHLIGHT PRACTICAL USES OF CONCEPTS. Case studies bring principles to life for students by providing real-world applications for the material covered within each chapter.
ADDITIONAL DESIGN PROJECTS PROVIDE IMPORTANT HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE. New design projects in this edition meet Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) requirements to help ensure your students are receiving an education that meets globally recognized accreditation standards.
UPDATED PROBLEMS OFFER A VARIETY OF PROVEN REVIEW AND REINFORCEMENT OPPORTUNITIES. Comprehensively revised problem sets ensure your students have the practice they need to master critical skills. New objective-type questions further check comprehension.
