Electrical Power Systems Technology, Third Edition

Covering the gamut of technologies and systems used in the generation of electrical power, this reference provides an easy-to understand overview of the production, distribution, control, conversion, and measurement of electrical power. The authors describe a broad array of essential characteristics of electrical power systems from power production to its conversion to other forms of energy. Each system is broken down into sub systems and equipment. Simple mathematical presentations are used with, as are many illustrations to facilitate understanding. This new third edition has been edited and updated throughout and a new chapter covering control devises for power control has been added.
