Summary:

Electric Power Transmission and Distribution is a comprehensive text, designed for undergraduate courses in power systems and transmission and distribution. Written in a simple, easy-to-understand manner, this book introduces the reader to electrical, mechanical and economic aspects of the design and construction of electric power transmission and distribution systems. Some key features of the book include a comprehensive chapter on voltage control; in-depth coverage on transmission-line parameters, performance of short, medium and long transmission lines; exclusive chapters on substations and economical design of power- and distribution systems; precise explanations, supported by examples; photographs that enable students to visualize the components of transmission systems; solved problems using MATLAB; 'Chapter at a Glance' at the end of every chapter to strengthen the learning process.
