Elements of Power System Analysis (4th Edition)

Elements of Power System Analysis (Fourth Edition)
By William D. Stevenson, Jr.

The predecessor to the modernized Power System Analysis by Grainger and Stevenson, this text remains a widely used undergraduate introduction to power system engineering in its own right, prized for developing sound reasoning over sheer depth. Rather than overwhelming students with exhaustive detail, it's organized around four core pillars — load-flow, economic dispatch, fault calculations, and system stability — giving a well-rounded, digestible introduction to the field. This fourth edition adds a new chapter on power system protection, along with updated techniques for working with the bus impedance matrix.

Topics commonly covered include basic concepts of power systems, transformers, the synchronous machine, series impedance and capacitance of transmission lines, current and voltage relations on transmission lines, network models and calculations, power-flow solutions, symmetrical and unsymmetrical faults, symmetrical components and sequence networks, economic dispatch of generation, power system stability, and power system protection.

Key features:

• Clear four-part structure: load-flow, economic dispatch, fault calculations, and system stability
• New chapter on power system protection with practical methods and examples
• Updated coverage of bus impedance matrix formulation and modification techniques
• Emphasis on basic theory and sound reasoning over excessive technical depth
• Long-standing McGraw-Hill classic that laid the foundation for the modern Power System Analysis text

Perfect for:

• Undergraduate electrical engineering students taking their first power systems course
• Students who want a thorough but approachable introduction rather than a dense reference
• Students preparing for further study using the modernized Grainger & Stevenson text
• Anyone building foundational knowledge in load-flow, fault analysis, and system stability
