Power System Analysis: Short-Circuit Load Flow and Harmonics
Power System Analysis: Short-Circuit Load Flow and Harmonics, by J.C. Das, published by Marcel Dekker, Inc., 270 Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10016, USA, +1 212 696 9000, fax +12126854540, Web http://www.dekker. com, ISBN 0-8247-0737-0. This book is composed of 850 pages divided into 20 chapters and 8 appendices. It provides an excellent analytical and technical approach to a large spectrum of important power systems topics. The presentation of the material reflects the extensive industrial experience of the author. The book includes a set of excellent practical examples and study cases, end-of-chapter problem sets, and references for further readings. A review of the book chapters and appendices follows. A unique feature of the book is its detailed coverage, with illustrative examples, of short-circuit calculations in ac and dc systems and the application and the ratings of circuit breakers and fuses according to both the IEC and the ANSI/IEEE standards. The related material is covered in Chapters 1-9. Also in these chapters, the book describes the construction of the bus and loop admittance and impedance matrices and covers symmetrical components for fault studies. It also provides an excellent background in terms of interruption concepts. An extended discussion of synchronous and induction machines models and short circuit is also provided. This discussion includes reactances and time constants of synchronous machines, saturation of reactances, circuit equations of unit machines, Parks transformation and voltage equation, circuit model of synchronous machines, and short circuit of synchronous and induction machines. In chapters 10-12, the book covers transmission line and power cable constants, and power and voltage calculations. It also discusses with solved examples, the power flow problem, the various solution techniques in detail, and

three-phase and distribution system load flow. Appendices A-D contain material that complements these chapters. Appendix B gives an overview of calculation of the parameters of transmission lines and power cable with emphasis on threephase models and transformation matrices. Appendix C provides detailed steady state transformer models, matrix techniques, and transformation matrices. In Appendices A and D, through solved examples, the book presents an overview of matrix methods including characteristic roots, eigen values and eigen vectors, derivatives of scalar and vector functions, solution of large simultaneous equations, and triangular factorization with optimal ordering. Chapter 13 of the book covers reactive-power-related issues. These include voltage instability, reactive power compensation, and reactive power devices and their models including static var controllers (SVC). A section of this chapter provides an effective and instructive introduction to FACTS controllers. Inclusion of these devices in power flow solution techniques would have made this chapter more useful to interested readers. Optimization techniques and applications to power systems operations with emphasis on optimal power flow are covered in chapters 16 and 17. The techniques covered in these chapters include the Lagranges and Newtons methods, successive linear and quadratic programming, dynamic and integer programming, and the interior point methods and variants. Additional illustrative examples would have further clarified some of the intricacies related to the material covered in this chapter. Chapters 18-20 represent another special feature of the book. In these chapters, the book provides a comprehensive coverage of the topic of harmonics in power systems. These chapters provide an excellent and fairly detailed discussion of harmonic generation, their effects, frequency and time-domain analysis, estimation and mitigation, and the design of different harmonic filters. The effective presentation of the related

material and a number of practical examples and case studies provide the reader with a comprehensive understanding of power system harmonics, and their effects on the performance of power systems. Appendices C-G present harmonics-related material. Appendix C covers the different types of transformers including step-voltage regulators and describes different transformer models and their characteristics including extended models, high frequency, duality, and geomagnetically induced current (GIC) models. Appendix E provides a useful introduction to Fourier Analysis coupled with illustrative examples that facilitate the understanding of topics such as Fourier Series, Discrete Fourier Transform, and Fast Fourier Transforms. Appendix F, entitled Limitations of Harmonics, complements the book coverage of power system harmonics. It discusses harmonic current limits, voltage quality, communication notches, interharmonics, and flicker. In Appendix G, the book discusses estimation of line harmonics. Additional solved examples and end-of-chapter problems especially in chapters 15, 16, and 20 should enhance the book. Although several topics are dated, their inclusion in the book does not compromise the value or the quality of the book. The book is easy to read. Its comprehensive nature and the style in which it is written make the book a suitable reference for practicing engineers and text for advanced undergraduate and first-year graduate courses in power systems. reviewed by A.
