Elements of Power System Analysis (MCGRAW HILL SERIES IN ELECTRICAL AND COMPUTER ENGINEERING)

In my EE undergrad program I found that the textbooks were terrible. Confusing, badly written, bad examples, skipping the basics. I finally asked a professor for some other recommendations. This is by far the best power systems book I have looked at. There are many many revisions of it, and eventually another author (Grainger) was added on to Stevenson, but the core of the information remains the same.The good and bad thing about power is that not that much has changed in the last 60 or 70 years, so even an older textbook is till incredibly relevant. I ditched the textbook we were assigned and pretty much exclusively use this book. Even now at work I still reference this book to review concepts a couple of times a month.

Excellent book. Starts with basics in AC power then moves to other topics critical for the practicing power engineer. Also served as a great reference for my Power PE exam - it was a great help. Recommended.

I bought this book to prepare for the PE exam, mainly because of the other favorable reviews by those who were preparing for the exam. I sincerely wish we had used this text back at Rolla, but alas, we did not. This book has the very best explanation of symmetrical components that I have seen. Even though I did not fully grasp the concept back in my college days (> 20 years ago!), Stevenson managed to finally get the point across to me and the concept became ridiculously clear. I am no expert, but I finally understand the theory, and can apply it.And by the way, I did pass on my first attempt. This book was a great reference and it's not physically large, so it was very handy on exam day.

For knowledge

Chapters 1-7 of Stevenson's Elements, insofar as they went, were poetic descriptions of abstract power system principles. Nonetheless, Stevenson's masterpiece has been improved by the brilliant graphical explications in Grainger's recursion of it. Obviously, Grainger expands importantly on Stevenson with an additional 400 pages. Would that such an expensive text as Grainger simply include the CD with solutions to PROBLEMS, thus providing both equitable distribution of same in classrooms, and, outside the classroom, incentive and positive reinforcement to grapple with problems.

This book is the best introduction to electric power systems . it combines the important aspects and formulas and physics required to be a good power systems engineer and is easy to understand.While is not well versed in today software,it should part of the engineer library.This is my third copy because I have loaned my other two copies to fellow engineers.my self have noticed today engineers are well versed in software, but not on the basics of electrical engineering. Remember the MS engineer that confused the wind tower foundation re-bars with the grounding system of the tower. Not like a Ufer ground.Have it in your library.AMDG

This is one of the best books for power systems, a must have for the P.E.

Great book, great price, and delivered in the time frame stated. Nothing better

Very early edition of this classic power systems text.Try and get edition 1!

The book was received ahead of promised delivery date . It is in good condition . I studied in college using the same wonderful book and wanted for reference again . I had lost my copy so this purchase came handy.

Book quality is great Just like new only for 270 rs ....

Go for it
