Product Description:
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.

Preface
Electrical Power Systems Technology (Third Edition) provides a broad
overview of the production, distribution, control, conversion, and measurement
of electrical power. The presentation method used in this book
will allow the reader to develop an understanding of electrical power systems.
The units of the book are organized in a systematic manner, beginning
with electrical power production methods. The fundamentals of each
major unit of the book are discussed at the beginning of the unit. These
fundamentals provide a framework for the information that follows in
each unit. The last unit has been expanded to include control devices.
This book deals with many important aspects of electrical power, not
just with one or two areas. In this way, it will give the reader a better understanding
of the total electrical power system—from the production of
electricity to its conversion to other forms of energy. Each unit deals with
a specific system, such as production, distribution, control, conversion, or
measurement. Each system is broken down into subsystems. The subsystems
are then explored in greater detail in the chapters that make up each
unit.
In order to understand the contents of this book in depth, the reader
should have a knowledge of basic electrical fundamentals. The mathematical
presentations given are very simple and are used only to show the
practical relationships that are important in electrical power system operation.
This book is recommended as a textbook for an “electrical power”
or “electrical generators and motors” course. It would be a suitable text for
vocational-technical schools, community colleges, universities, and, possibly,
some technical high school programs. Many illustrations are shown,
to make the presentations that are given easier to understand. The content
is presented in such a way that any reader should be able to learn a great
deal about the operation of electrical power systems.
