“We believe our book is suitable for upper-level undergraduate courses and introductory graduate courses in electrical engineering. Practicing engineers will also enjoy it in our world of rapidly changing electric power systems.”
“Today's power systems are better represented in the time domain rather than the frequency domain of phasors. Students today are familiar with time-domain differential equations and numerical ways to solve them. We therefore chose to describe electric power systems in the time domain and, where possible and useful, relate descriptions to the frequency domain. We believe the time-domain approach is essential for understanding traveling waves as well as nonlinear sources and loads, including switched loads and inverter-based resources.”
“As a practicing power engineer, I am enthusiastic about this textbook's approach of first developing an understanding of power-system behavior in the time domain. Students then see fundamental-frequency phasor analysis and other simplification methods for what they are: powerful shortcuts whose applicability depends on the nature of the problem being analyzed. This perspective is increasingly important as power systems evolve and incorporate greater proportions of nonlinear sources and loads.”

Power System Analysis
A Time-Domain Approach
This textbook is a collaborative effort between SEL engineers and university professors. It provides both theoretical and practical approaches to power system analysis, starting with time-domain principles. This approach equips students with the skills to address the needs of a rapidly changing power system.
The textbook includes the following chapters:
- Electric Power System Overview
- Electric Power System Fundamental Principles
- Linear Transformations of Voltages and Currents in Three-Phase Systems
- Electric Power Sources
- Power Transformers
- Power Lines
- Loads
- Power Flow Analysis
