Reviews

"""This comprehensive book will benefit the practicing power engineer or student who wants to teach himself. It is well-suited for self-study because it contains background theory for each topic covered, and numerous numerical examples and problems crafted to apply the information presented. The appendix is filled with tables of data pertaining to overhead lines, transformers, underground cables, costing, regulations, definitions, unit conversions, and MATLAB® examples. All this information in one place makes this book an excellent reference for the practicing power engineer. It will be useful for many years."" —John J. Shea, Eaton Corporation, Moon Township, Pennsylvania, USA, from IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine, May/June 2015 ""…Good balance between mathematical background and practical applications…The text provides a good review of the key issues in transmission system design and is suitable for courses where not all students have deep background knowledge of the subject."" ––James Pilgrim, University of Southampton, UK ""This book provides an excellent balance between theory and practical application. It gives the student a good introduction to the equipment used in power systems, how they operate, and why they are in the form we find them. There are many practical examples included and clear explanations. I like the way that industry standards and current practices are introduced and explained. Most students do not have a familiarity with the equipment used in the power system, and this work bridges that gap and provides a clear picture of how the pieces work together."" ––Sheppard Salon, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, New York, USA ""This comprehensive book will benefit the practicing power engineer or student who wants to teach himself.
