Book
Power System Analysis - Analytical Tools and Structural Properties
Steven H. Low, Caltech
This rough draft is based on lecture notes for the Power System Analysis course that I have been teaching at Caltech for the last decade or so. Any corrections, questions, comments, or pointers will be greatly appreciated!
Current draft (October 31, 2024)
- Part I: Single-phase networks (Ch 1 - 6)
- Part II: Unbalanced multiphase networks (Ch 7 - 10)
- Part III: Power flow optimization (Ch 11 - 18)
- Appendix: Mathematical preliminaries (Ch 19)
Solution manual
Solutions to most of the exercises are available to instructors for teaching or researchers for self study. Request solution.
