569 p.The power industry, a capital and technology intensive industry, is a basic national infrastructure. Its security, reliability, and economy have enormous and far-reaching effects on a national economy. An electrical power system is a typical large-scale system. Questions such as how to reflect accurately the characteristics of modern electrical power systems, how to analyze effectively their operating features, and how to improve further the operating performance are always at the forefront of electrical power systems research.
Electrical power system analysis is used as the basic and fundamental measure to study planning and operating problems. In the last century, electrical power researchers have under taken a great deal of investigat ion and devel opment in this area, have made great progress in theoretical analysis and numerical calculation, and have written excellent monographs and textbooks.
