4.0 out of 5 stars
Very good survey, exactly what I was looking for, April 25, 2009
This review is from: Electrical Power System Essentials (Hardcover)
This is a great survey of power systems for someone with a modest electrical engineering background. It presents terminology, hardware, circuits, and analysis in an approachable and well organized way. After reading it, someone with little prior experience can have a clear sense of what the field is about, what the basic issues are, and what the fundamental limits on new technologies (such as smart grid) are. Although I usually prefer an approach with deeper analysis, for power systems I was looking for more of a survey text, and that's exactly what this is.
Granger's Power System Analysis is far more popular. I only chose this book because it was available through my college alumni library, while Granger was checked out. I have no complaints. I only give it 4 stars because I have not read anything in the field to compare it to.
