| dc.description.abstract | This book has evolved from the content of courses given by the author at California State University, Sacramento, the University of Missouri at Columbia, the University of Oklahoma, and Florida International University. It has been written for senior-level undergraduate and beginninglevel graduate students, as well as practicing engineers in the electric power utility industry. It can serve as a text for a two-semester course, or by judicious selection, the material in the text can also be condensed to suit a one-semester course. This book has been particularly written for a student or practicing engineer who may want to teach himself or herself. Basic material has been explained carefully, clearly, and in detail with numerous examples. Each new term is clearly defined when it is first introduced. The special features of the book include ample numerical examples and problems designed to apply the information presented in each chapter. An effort has been made to familiarize the reader with the vocabulary and symbols used in the industry. | en_US |
