Synopsis

Learn the basic concepts of power systems along with the tools you 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 that you can readily extend these principles to new and complex situations. Software tools, including PowerWorld Simulation, and the latest content throughout this edition aid you with design issues while introducing you to the most recent trends in the field today.

About the Authors

Dr. J. Duncan Glover is president and principal engineer at Failure Electrical, LLC. He earned his Ph.D. from MIT. Dr. Glover has served as principal engineer at Exponent Failure Analysis Associates and was a tenured associate professor in the electrical and computer engineering department of Northeastern University. Dr. Glover has held several engineering positions with leading companies, including the International Engineering Company and the American Electric Power Service Corporation. He specializes in issues pertaining to electrical engineering, particularly as they relate to failure analysis of electrical systems, subsystems and components, including causes of electrical fires.

Dr. Tom Overbye serves as professor and holder of the O’Donnell Foundation Chair III in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Texas A&M University. He earned his Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin. Prior to joining Texas A&M in 2017, he was a professor for 25 years at the University of Illinois. Before entering academia, Dr. Overbye worked at Madison Gas and Electric Company. He is also the primary developer of the PowerWorld Simulator computer package and is a founder of PowerWorld Corporation. Dr. Overbye has received several teaching and research honors, including the BP Amoco Award for Innovation in Undergraduate Education, a University of Wisconsin-Madison College of Engineering Distinguished Achievement Award and the 2011 IEEE Power and Energy Society Outstanding Engineering Educator Award. He is also a member of the US National Academy of Engineering. His primary interest lies in the area of power and energy systems.

A forerunner in his field, Dr. Mulukutla S. Sarma has written not only this text, but also numerous technical articles for leading journals, including the first studies of methods for computer-aided analysis of three-dimensional nonlinear electromagnetic field problems as applied to the design of electrical machinery. Dr. Sarma is a life-fellow of IEEE (U.S.A), a fellow of IEEE (U.K.) and IEEE (India), a reviewer of several IEEE Transactions, a member of the IEEE Rotating Machinery Committee and a member of several other professional societies. He is also a professional engineer in the State of Massachusetts.
