Power System Analysis by Grainger & Stevenson,
By N.D. Rao (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Power System Analysis (Hardcover)
This is a thoroughly revised version of the classical Power System Analysis text by the late Professor Stevenson. The new author, Professor Grainger, has made every effort to retain the flavor and clarity of the original text material. The text covers all classical power system material starting with: basic concepts, transformers, transmission line parameters & performance, network models, power flow solutions, 3-phase faults, symmetrical components and applications, economic operation and power system stability. Two brand new and highly readable chapters on contingency analysis and state estimation add value to the usefulness of this text. A superb solution manual is available for instructors. This text is admirably suited to power system analysis courses at senior undergraduate level and graduate level.We, at the University of Calgary, have adopted this as the text for the 4th year power system course ENEL 587.

A must for anyone interested in electric power systems,
By A Customer
This review is from: Power System Analysis (Hardcover)
This is a classic. Anyone interested in the electrical theory behind generation, transmission, system protection, power flow analysis, and system stability analysis should buy this book. This is the standard textbook in many EE departments and will prepare you well for the PE exam.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Review of Power System Analysis,
By A Customer
This review is from: Power System Analysis (Hardcover)
This book is mostly based on the classic textbook Elements of Power System Analysis by the late William D. Stevenson, Jr. While Stevenson's book was concise and to the point stressing the fundamentals of power systems, the new book is stuck in the computational details. These unnecssary details clutter the presentation and make it for hard for the undergraduate student to know which information is important and which are secondary details. In other words, the student will not see the forest from the trees! My recommendation after using both textbooks is very loud and clear: as an undergraduate text, stick with the clear and elegant original text by W. D. Stevenson and use the bloated version by J. J. Grainger only as a reference for the interested student.
