Power System Operation, Utilization, and Control

This book presents power system analysis methods that cover all aspects of power systems operation, utilization, control, and system management.

At the beginning of each chapter, an introduction is given describing the objectives of the chapter. The authors have attempted to present power system parameters in a lucid, logical, step-by-step approach in a lucid, logical, step-by-step approach.

In recognition of requirements by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) on integration of engineering computer tools, the authors demonstrate the use of MATLAB^(R) programming in obtaining solutions to engineering power problems. MATLAB is introduced in a student-friendly manner and follow up is given in Appendix A. The use of MATLAB and power system applications arepresented throughout the book.

Practice problems immediately follow each illustrative example. Students can follow the example step-by-step to solve the practice problems. These practice problems test students' comprehension and reinforce key concepts before moving on to the next chapter.

In each chapter, the authors discuss some application aspects of the chapter's concepts using computer programming. The material covered in the chapter applied to at least one or two practical problems to help students see how the concepts are used in real-life situations.

Thoroughly worked examples are provided at the end of every section. These examples give students a solid grasp of the solutions and the confidence to solve similar problems themselves.

Designed for a three-hour semester course on Power System Operation, Utilization, and Control, this book is intended as a textbook for a senior-level undergraduate student in electrical and computer engineering. The prerequisites for a course based on this book are knowledge of standard mathematics, including calculus and complex numbers and basic undergraduate engineering courses.

本書介紹了涵蓋電力系統運行、利用、控制和系統管理的電力系統分析方法。

每章開始時，都會提供一個介紹，描述該章節的目標。作者試圖以清晰、邏輯、逐步的方式呈現電力系統參數。

為了滿足工程和技術認證委員會（ABET）對工程計算工具整合的要求，作者展示了使用MATLAB^(R)編程解決工程電力問題的方法。MATLAB以學生友好的方式介紹，附錄A中提供了相關的跟進內容。書中始終介紹了MATLAB和電力系統應用。

每個實例後面都有練習問題。學生可以按照實例逐步解決練習問題。這些練習問題測試學生的理解能力，並在進入下一章之前強化關鍵概念。

在每章中，作者使用計算機編程討論了該章節概念的一些應用方面。章節中涵蓋的材料至少應用於一個或兩個實際問題，以幫助學生了解這些概念在現實生活中的應用。

每個章節結束時都提供了詳細的實例。這些實例使學生對解決方案有了牢固的理解，並且有信心自己解決類似的問題。

本書設計為一個三小時的學期課程《電力系統運行、利用和控制》，旨在成為電氣和計算機工程高年級本科生的教材。以本書為基礎的課程的先修要求包括對標準數學（包括微積分和複數）和基礎本科工程課程的知識。
