my writing I have made
textbook that has guided the education of numerous power system engineering
The aim here is to instill confidence and understanding of those concepts
of power system analysis that are likely to to
be
encountered in the study and
practice of electric power engineering. The presentation is tutorial with empha
sis on a thorough understanding of fundamentals and underlying principles. The
approach and level of treatment are directed toward the senior undergraduate
and universities. The coverage, however, is quite comprehensive and spans a
and first-year graduate student of electrical engineering at technical colleges
wide range of topics commonly encountered in electric power system engineer
ing practice. In this regard, electric utility and other industry-based engineers
will find this textbook of much benefit in their everyday work.
Modern power systems have grown larger and more geographically expan
sive with many interconnections between neighboring systems. Proper planni ng,
operation, and control of such large-scale systems require advanced computer
based techniques, many of which are explained in a tutorial manner by means of
numerical examples throughout this book. The senior undergraduate engineer
ing student about to embark on a career in the electric power industry will most
certainly benefit from the exposure to these techniques, which are presented
here in the detail appropriate to an i ntroductory level. Lik�wise, electri c utility
engineers, even those with a previous course in power system analysis, may find
that the explanations of these commonly used analytic techniques more ade
quately prepare them to move beyond routine work.
Power System Analysis
can serve as a basis for two semesters of undergrad
uate study or for first-semester graduate study. The wide range of topics
facilitates versatile selection of chapters and sections for completion in the
semester or quarter time frame. Familiarity with the basic principles of electric

The waveform of voltage at the b u s es of a power system ca n be assumed to be
purely sinusoidal and of constant frequency. In developing most of the theory in
this book, we are concerned with the phasor representations of sinusoidal
volt?ges and currents a n d use the capital letters V and I to i ndicate t h ese
phasors (with appropriate subscripts where necessary). Vertical bars e nclosin g V
and I, that is, I VI and III, designate the magnitudes of the phasors. Magnitude s
of complex numbers such as impedance Z and admittance Ya re a lso indic a te d
by vertical bars. Lowercase letters generally indicate in s t antane o u s v a lues.
Where a generated voltage [electromotive force (emf)] is specified, the lett e r E
rather than V is often used for voltage to emphasize the fact that an e m f r a t her
tha n a general p o te n ti a l difference between two points is being considered.

CHAPTER 1
BASIC CONCEPTS
If a voltage and a current are expressed as fu nctions of time, such as
v = 141 .4 cos ( w t + 30° )
i = 7 .07 cos w t
and
their m ax i m u m values are obviously Vmax = 1 41.4 V and I m = 7.07 A, respec
t ively. Vertical bars are not needed when t he subscript max with V and I is used
to indicate

rms) values, which equal the maximum values divided by Ii. Thus, for the
above expressions for v and i

I VI = 1 00 V

These are the values read b y the ordinary types of voltmeters a n d ammeters.
Another n a me for the rms value is the effective value. The average p ower
expended i n a resistor by a current of magnitude III is 1 I12R.
To exp ress these quanti ties as p hasors, we e mploy Euler's i d e n ti ty SiG =
cos e + j sin e, which gives
cos e

Re{8JO} = Re{cos e + j sin e}
(1 . 1 )
where Re m e ans the real part of. We now write

Of course, we might not c hoose as the refe rence phasor either the vol tage
or the curre n t whose instantaneous expressions are v and i, respectively, i n
w hich case their p hasor expressions would i nvolve other angles.
In circuit d iagrams it is often most convenient to use polarity marks in the
form of p lus and minus signs to i ndicate the terminal assumed positive when
specifying voltage. An arrow on t he diagram specifies the di rection assumed
positive for t h e fl ow of current. In t h e single-phase equivalent of a three-p hase
circuit single-subscript notation is usually sufficient, but double-subscrip t ,nota
tion is u su a l ly simpler when deal i ng with all three p hases.

DOUBLE-SUBSCRIPT NOTATION
T h e use of polarity marks fo r vol tages a n d d i rect ion a r rows for cu rre n ts can be
avoided by double-subscript notation. The u n dersta n d ing of t h ree-phase c i rcuits
is considerably cla ri fied by adop ting a syst e m of double subscripts. The conven
t ion to be fol lowed i s quite s i mp le.
In denoting a current the order of the s ubscripts assigned to the symbol
for current d efines the d irection of the flow of current when the curre n t is
considered to b e positive. In Fig. 1 . 1 the arrow pointing from a to b defi nes the
positive d i rection for the curren tIL associated with t he arrow. The i ns ta nta
neous c urre nt i L is positive when the current is actua ll y in the dire ction from a
to b, a n d in double-subscript n otation this current is iab' The cur rent iab is
equal to iba'
In double-subscript notation the letter subs cripts on a vol tage ind icate the
n odes of the circ uit between which the voltage e xists. We shall fol low t he
convention which says that the fi rst s ubsc ri pt d e n otes the voltage of t h a t n ode
with respect to the node identified by the secon d subscript. This m e a ns tha t the
instantaneous voltage Vab across Z A of the circu i t of Fig. 1 . 1 is the voltage of
node a with r espect to node b a n d t h a t vab is positive du ring that half cycle
when a is a t a higher potenti al than b. The cor responding phasor voltage is V,,/J'
