Without emphasizing extensive mathematical derivations, this text provides a solid introduction to electrical power systems generation, transmission, distribution, and consumption. Unique in its use of Scilab-an open source alternative to MATLAB (R)-the book covers AC and poly-phase power with a focus on 3-phase systems, transmission line modeling and 2-port networks, ideal and auto-transformers, power flow equations, and economic dispatch. It also discusses the use of smart grid technology to improve energy efficiency and includes grid interface concepts regarding wind- and solar-based electric energy generation.
