Advanced Electric Power Network Analysis focuses on the steady-state analysis of power systems, with more emphasis placed on network analysis. To meet the requirements for computerized calculations, mathematical expressions, such as matrix and vector descriptions, are adapted to computational solutions throughout the book. Mathematical modeling, methods of solution, and the implementation of computer programming are also integrated in a systematic manner. Part 1 introduces the fundamentals of electric power network analysis. The second part introduces the applications of steady-state analysis of electric power networks, with the focus on load flow and fault analysis. Apart from conventional load flow formulation, some special-purpose load flows, such as DC load flow, fast decoupled load flow, and sensitivity-based load flow, are discussed.

Key Features:

(1) Strong innovation. Many novel content, creative concepts, and innovative solution methods are provided and explained clearly.
(2) Novel teaching method. Not only do the authors introduce the concepts and theories clearly, but they also explain how to analyze the problems and derive solutions using the methods explained in the earlier chapters of Part 1.
(3) Written for a wide audience. This book introduces basic and common problems in electric power network analysis. This will satisfy the needs of postgraduate students and academic researchers from the diverse specialties of power system analysis.
(4) Combination of theory with practice. Most of the concepts and solution methods introduced in this book can also be used as practical applications of power systems analysis, which is especially useful for practicing power system engineers.
(5) A graphical-based approach is used to explain the application of the obscure sparse technique in solving network computation problems.
