Summary Of The Book Power System: Analysis and Design contains a comprehensive overview of the fundamental aspects of power systems. The readers are provided insights into distribution, load flow, fault studies, transmission system design, surge phenomena, and stability of power systems. In this sixth edition, Gupta has included a number of solved examples, which helps the readers grasp the concepts easily. In total, there are 20 chapters in this book. Some of these chapters include Power System Stability, Power System Earthing, Balanced and Unbalanced Faults, Mechanical Design of Overhead Lines, and HVDC Transmission. This edition also provides up-to-date insights on the transmission system used in India. At the end of each chapter, the readers are provided with Self Test and Job Interview questions to test their understanding. Review questions and problems have also been added at the chapter-end. In this edition, two new chapters have also been added, which include Voltage Stability and Reliability of Transmission and Distribution Systems. Gupta has struck the right balance between qualitative discussions and mathematical details, which provides the readers with a solid grounding in the subject. He closes the chapter by giving the readers a brief summary of crucial concepts. He has also thrown light on the EHV and HVDC systems in India.
