Electrical Power System Essentials provides an accessible, broad, and up-to-date overview of alternating current (AC) power systems, focusing on the systemas a whole rather than analyzing in detail the modeling of component parts (as is the case in classical power engineering textbooks). Throughout, the authors take care to always provide examples and case studies in order to back up theory or techniques presented. Information on mathematical modeling and equations are set out in appendices, rather than integrated in a potentially confusing way in the text, making the text accessible for undergraduate students and readers without a technical background directly related to power engineering.
