Review

This book is certainly not a repetition of the earlier books on reliability. ... This book may help in spreading the concept of reliability calculations to a wider audience. ... chapter 6 ... is ... compulsory reading for anybody who wants to use a reliability calculation. ... This is altogether a highly recommendable volume ... anybody lecturing on power-system reliability or on distribution systems should read it.
