Summary

This rigorous tutorial is aimed at both power system professionals and electrical engineering students. Breaking down the complexities of load flow analysis into a series of short, focused chapters, the book develops each of the major algorithms used, covers the handling of generators and transformers in the analysis process, and details how these algorithms can be deployed in powerful software. Having read the book, and EE student or engineer will have all the tools necessary to predict load usage and prevent overloads, blackouts, and brownouts.

Author Biography

Lynn Powell is an electrical engineer who is now retired after spending 40 years with various U.K. organizations: the South Wales Electricity Board, the Central Electricity Generating Board, the British Steel Corporation, and the Ministry of Defense. For virtually all that time he was engaged in power system design, for land-based and ship-based systems. He holds a master's degree in power systems engineering from the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology and is a Fellow of the Institution of Electrical Engineers. A Welshman by birth, he lives in Wiltshire, England.
