Description

Updated to reflect the latest changes and advances in the field, Distribution System Modeling and Analysis, Third Edition again provides that the most accurate possible results in computational modeling for electric power distribution systems. With the same simplified approach of previous editions, this book clearly explains the principles and mathematics behind system models, thus discussing the "smart grid" concept and its special benefits. However, this volume adds a crucial element not found in previous editions. The first two books are developed for all components and focused on how to actually implement these models on a computer for planning and for real-time analysis. This book includes numerous models of components and several practical examples to demonstrate how to do so. It also suggests how to use it. Another improvement is the book’s earlier introduction (in chapter 4) of the modified ladder iterative technique. The author explains the need for this methodology, which is among the most powerful options. Mathcad and Windows programs to put their new learning into practice into practice. An invaluable tool for engineering students and professionals worldwide, this book explores cutting-edge advances in modeling, simulation, and analysis of distribution systems.
