Computer Aided Power Systems is a comprehensive book for electrical and electronics engineering undergraduates studying a single semester course on Power Systems. The book introduces students to system behavior through computer calculations, giving students an understanding of power systems from the point of view of the central control facility. It explains the elements of transmission networks, bus reference frame, network fault and contingency calculations, power flow on transmission networks, generator base power setting, and state estimation from on-line measurements, helping students learn in-depth about them. In addition, the mathematical approach favoured in the book helps readers progress beyond the standard textbook limitations and understand the application of the subject in real world problems. The book is an indispensable resource for all undergraduates aspiring to take up professional jobs in the field of power systems. About George Kusic George L. Kusic is an Associate Professor at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Swanson School of Engineering, University of Pittsburgh. He teaches real time analog and digital control of power systems, and specializes in the application of integrated circuit designs for controlling large electromechanical machinery. Dr, Kusic obtained his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University in 1967 and has since guided several students towards obtaining their own doctorates.
