Electric Power Generation, Transmission and Distribution

Good for basics of electricity generations as well as who want to know how electricity is produced...

This book explains lucidly the subject and is very helpful in providing the fundamentals in this vital subject. Electrical engineering students would benefit in using this book as a reference.

This is mostly math-based explanation of power generation and distribution ... with some sections and sentences that speak to the non-professional who knows a good bit about the topic beforehand. Sine, cosine, vector, absolute value... it's all there for the engineer... and of course math is needed to explain the AC wave. I was looking for more entry-level overview of power generation... with more layman explanations... but the ones given were concise. Despite being over my head, I gleaned better understanding of power generation and transmission. Absolutely, business and industry and government leaders should view this book to understand how complex the grid is, and understand challenges of providing electric power as demand grows and resources diminish. I thought one of the interesting points was a shift toward generating power with smaller plants located at end user location, or en route alongside power lines. This shift indicates future focus on prioritizing electricity vrs supplying power to all folks. It was also interesting to note that substations require DC batteries... so AC distribution requires DC back-up. Alternate power sources were also discussed briefly.

In simple language good explanations. Distribution transformer modelling for unbalanced circuits and transformers can be improved to get final equations that the author gives in his book Distribution system modeling and analysis by William H Kersting suiting Indian units system not the American system.

Good
