This book is part of a three-book series for the sequence ofelectric power electives taught in most large universities'Electrical Engineering departments. Advances in hybrid-electriccars and alternative energy systems, coupled with the severeenvironmental problems associated with hydrocarbon-based fuels, aredriving renewed interest in the electric energy systems (EES)curriculum at the Undergraduate level.
Ned Mohan has been a leader in EES education and research fordecades, as author of the best-selling text/reference PowerElectronics with Wiley and a series of textbooks self-publishedunder the MNPERE imprint. Mohan leads a consortium of 80+universities working to revitalize electric power engineeringeducation. These texts are based on the integrated curriculumdeveloped over nearly 15 years of research in education in thisfield.
Since the subject of Electric Power Systems encompasses a large andcomplex set of topics, a unique aspect of this book is a balancedapproach in presenting as many topics as possible on a fundamentalbasis for a single-semester course. These topics include howelectricity is generated and how it is used by various loads, andthe network and various apparatus in between. Students see the bigpicture and learn the fundamentals at the same time. Sequencing ofthese topics is considered carefully to avoid repetition and toretain student and reader interest. However, instructors canrearrange the order for the most part, based on their ownexperiences and preferences.
