Power System Analysis

Power System Analysis Third Edition eTextbook & Power System Toolbox by Hadi Saadat ISBN: 9780984543823  

Power System Analysis

Overview
Power System Analysis is designed for senior undergraduate or graduate electrical engineering students studying power system analysis and design. The book gives readers a thorough understanding of the fundamental concepts of power system analysis and their applications to real-world problems. MATLAB and SIMULINK, ideal for power system analysis, are integrated into the text, which enables students to confidently apply the analysis to the solution of large practical power systems with ease.

In the third edition, Chapter 1 is revised comprehensively to include energy resources and their environmental impacts. It covers various fossil-fuel power plants as well as all modern power plants using renewable energy sources. Also, this Chap. includes discussion of the emergence of the smart grid and the role of power electronics in modern power systems. In this edition, programs, functions, and SIMULINK diagrams have been updated to run on the latest version of MATLAB R2021). 
Key Feature

  • An accompanying Zip file contains the author developed Power System Toolbox for typical power system analysis. The software modules are designed for interactive use with MATLAB, and the user can mix them for many studies related to the operation and analysis of power systems.
  • Contains more than 140 illustrative examples that use MATLAB and SIMULINK to assist in the analysis of power systems.
  • Includes several interactive MATLAB's graphical user interface (GUI) programs which enhances the learning process.
  • Appendices include an introduction to MATLAB, SIMULINK, and an introduction to relevant control system topics. In addition, the text provides numerous problems at the end of Chapters with numerical answers.
