Power System Engineering By D Kothari And I Nagrath Power System Engineering by D Kothari and I Nagrath is a revised edition of the book on power systems with the addition of some topics. The introductory portion has been made more elaborate with the addition of chapters on topics like voltage stability, underground cables, overhead line insulators, mechanical design of transmission lines, neutral grounding, corona, high voltage DC transmission, maintenance scheduling,  AGC of restructured power,  power transformer, and midline boosters. The additions in the appendix section include MATLab and SIMULINK  programs for power system analysis and power quality.  There are additional solved examples, practice questions, and objective type questions. Chapter wise content includes inductance and resistance of transmission lines, capacitance of transmission Lines, representation of power system components, load flow studies, optimal system operation, automatic generation and voltage control, symmetrical fault analysis, symmetrical components, unsymmetrical fault analysis, power system stability, power system transients, circuit breakers, power system protection, underground cables, insulators for overhead lines, mechanical design of transmission lines, corona, high voltage DC (HVDC) transmission, distribution systems, and voltage stability.
