Turan Gonen
Missouri University of Science and Technology, Rolla, USA
California State University, Sacramento, USA
Precision system analysis is essential to predict and continually update network operating status, estimate current power flows and bus voltages, determine stability limits, and minimize costs. Computational Methods for Electric Power Systems provides an introductory overview of computational methods used for these analytical studies in power systems and other engineering and scientific fields.
Drawing from the author’s 31 years of teaching and power industry experience in the U.S. and abroad, this self-contained text on modern power transmission engineering includes ample numerical examples and problems, and it makes a special effort to familiarize readers with vocabulary and symbols used in the industry. Divided into two sections—electrical and mechanical design and analysis—it covers topics ranging from transmission system planning and analysis of balanced and unbalanced faults, to construction of overhead lines and factors affecting transmission line route selection.
As power systems increasingly operate under stressed conditions, techniques such as computer simulation remain integral to control and security assessment. This volume assesses the algorithms used in commercial analysis packages and presents simple, salient, easily reproducible examples of their implementation, most of which are produced using MATLAB® language.
Presents General Theory Applicable to Different Systems Commercial packages routinely fail or give erroneous results when used to simulate stressed systems, and understanding their underlying numerical algorithms is imperative to correctly interpret their results. This edition paints a broad picture of simulation methods and includes new information on function approximation and finite element analysis. It also provides new sections on: • Generalized Minimal Residual (GMRES) methods • Numerical differentiation • Secant method • Homotopy and continuation methods • Computing dominant eigenvalues • Singular-value decomposition and pseudoinverses • Matrix pencil method This book enables users to make better choices and improve their grasp of the situations in which methods may fail—instilling greater confidence in the use of commercial packages.

Random Phenomena Fundamentals of Probability and Statistics for Engineers Babatunde A. Ogunnaike University of Delaware, Newark, USA
Many of the problems that engineers face involve randomly varying phenomena of one sort or another. However, if characterized properly, even such randomness and the resulting uncertainty are subject to rigorous mathematical analysis. Random Phenomena: Fundamentals of Probability and Statistics for Engineers provides students with a working knowledge of how to solve engineering problems that involve randomly varying phenomena. Basing his approach on the principle of theoretical foundations before application, Dr. Ogunnaike presents a classroom-tested course of study that explains how to master and use probability and statistics appropriately to deal with uncertainty in standard problems and those that are new and unfamiliar.
Giving students the tools and confidence to formulate practical solutions to problems, this book offers many useful features, including: • A CD with data sets and worksheets • Unique case studies to illustrate the fundamentals and applications of probability and foster understanding of the random variable and its distribution • Examples of development, selection, and analysis of probability models for specific random variables • Presentation of core concepts and ideas behind statistics and design of experiments • Selected "special topics," including reliability and life testing, quality assurance and control, and multivariate analysis
Written in easy-to-understand language with illustrative designs and examples, Electronics Engineering covers all aspects of electronics fundamentals. It begins with semiconductors and diodes, the simplest form of semiconductor device. It goes on to examine the bipolar junction transistor (BJT), field effect transistor (FET), operational amplifier (Op-Amp), switching theory and logic design (STLD), as well as electronics instruments. Each chapter provides a summary and a series of questions for exercise purposes, helping students to test their assimilation of the material.
As classic scientific boundaries continue to be restructured, the use of engineering is spilling over into more non-traditional areas, ranging from molecular biology to finance. This book emphasizes fundamentals and a "first principles" approach to deal with this evolution. It illustrates theory with practical examples and case studies, equipping readers to deal with a wide range of problems beyond those in the book.
