Bergen and Vittal's Power Systems Analysis is a comprehensive book for undergraduate electrical engineers. Designed for a single semester course in power systems, the book covers the fundamentals of the subject. It explores the latest changes in the electric utility industry and discusses how these changes affect power system operation. The book also discusses advanced computer-based power systems analysis methods and shows how each tool can be applied to design and improve an existing system. The book also brings students a collection of problems which can be solved using interactive programs such as MATLAB. In addition, the book contains a practical project which is carried out from chapter to chapter, building upon the concepts that the student gathers so that the final result is that the student would have experienced a real-world problem through the book. It is an essential resource for all electrical engineers. About the Authors Arthur R. Bergen is an American academician, electrical engineer and Professor Emeritus at the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences at the University Berkeley College of Engineering. He takes classes on Power Systems, Stability and Control Theory. Dr. Bergen has also published several papers in the same fields, forwarding the research therein substantially. Vijay Vittal is currently the Ira A. Fulton Chair Professor at the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering, in the Department of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering, Arizona State University. A graduate of B.M.S. College of Engineering, Bangalore, and Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, he completed his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Iowa State University.
