Electric Power System Analysis, Stability And Protection

The main purpose of this book is to cater to the needs of the under-graduate students of Electrical Engineering and to serve as a pre-requisite to the requirements of post-graduate students in Power System Engineering. The book is an outcome of teaching courses for Electrical Engineering Branch classes and is expected to be useful to the graduate students for courses in Analysis and Stability of Electric Power Systems.

The book is divided into two parts. The first part consists of of eight chapters and is devoted to the analysis of electric power systems and the second part concentrates on stability of power systems.
