Electric power systems -- AC voltage, current, and power -- Transmission lines -- Polyphase systems -- Electrical and magnetic circuits -- Transformers -- Polyphase lines and single-phase equivalents -- Electromagnetic forces and loss mechanisms -- Synchronous machines -- System analysis and protection -- Load flow -- Power electronics and converters in power systems -- System dynamics and energy storage -- Induction machines -- DC (commutator) machines -- Permanent magnets in electric machines.

"The text begins by covering the fundamentals of power circuits, followed by the fundamentals of electromechanics. It then goes on to discuss devices: electric machines and power electronics, and more advanced systems concepts, including load flow, energy storage and, finally, system dynamics. Content based on a successful electric power course by an MIT author Use of circuit theory to understand electric power Magnetic circuits as a way of understanding transformers and machines BCS to include scripts, written for Matlab, that carry out some of the calculations described in the book and that were used to create many of the figures. New material includes: discussion of energy storage and energy storage impact on system dynamics; the unified power flow controller; Newton?s Method; state estimation and phase measurements; voltage stability and Hopf bifurcation"-- Provided by publisher.
