Power System Analysis & Stability

This book has been written to meet the requirements of students studying for electrical engineering at the under-graduate level and also for those appearing for other professional examinations. Courses vary so much, however, that some institutions may also find it useful for a first course for post-graduates. With this end in view, some advanced topics have been included at appropriate places in the book together with upto-date information. The book should also be useful to the electrical engineers presently involved with power network calculations.

It is expected the student has already had a first course in general electrical engineering. He should also have been expected to Laplace transform, elementary control theory, and linear differential equations. Matrix analysis is used throughout the text. However, the simplest of matrix operations suffice, and they are summarized in Appendix A-I for those students not familiar with this tool.
