Power System Analysis

A Time-Domain Approach

Power systems operate in a continual transient state in the time domain. Voltages and currents are time-domain signals. Representing these signals in the frequency domain by using phasors is a convenient simplification that is only valid in the steady state. The common approach of starting power system analysis in the frequency domain can leave students without a thorough understanding of real power systems.

This textbook offers a new approach to power system analysis. We start with time-domain principles to provide a complete understanding of power system analysis. We then explain approximations and simplifications; for example, the frequency-domain approach. We provide examples to illustrate the application of the time-domain and frequency-domain theoretical principles. This first-principles-based approach equips students with the skills to keep up with the rapid changes occurring in power systems.

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:

  1. Electric Power System Overview
  2. Electric Power System Fundamental Principles
  3. Linear Transformations of Voltages and Currents in Three-Phase Systems
  4. Electric Power Sources
  5. Power Transformers
  6. Power Lines
  7. Loads
  8. Power Flow Analysis
  9. Power System Operation
  10. Power System Control
  11. Balanced Fault Analysis
  12. Unbalanced Fault Analysis
  13. Power System Stability

A homework problem solutions booklet is available to professors who use the textbook in their curriculum.
