Updated to reflect the latest changes and advances in the field‎,‎ Distribution System Modeling and Analysis‎,‎ Third Edition again illustrates methods that will ensure the most accurate possible results in computational modeling for electric power distribution systems‎.‎ With the same simplified approach of previous editions‎,‎ this book clearly explains the principles and mathematics behind system models‎,‎ also discussing the ‎"‎smart grid‎"‎ concept and its special benefits‎.‎ However‎,‎ this volume adds a crucial element not found in previous editions‎.‎ The first two books developed models for all components but focused less on how to actually implement those models on a computer for planning and for real‎-time analysis‎.‎ This book includes numerous models of components and several practical examples‎,‎ to demonstrate how engineers can apply and customize computer programs to help them plan and operate systems‎.‎ It also covers approximation methods to help users interpret computer program feedback‎,‎ so they recognize when a result is not what it should be‎.‎ Another improvement is the book‎'‎s earlier introduction ‎(‎in chapter 4‎)‎ of the modified ladder iterative technique‎.‎ The author explains the need for this method‎-which is used in most distribution analysis programs‎-detailing how it is applied and why it is among the most powerful options‎.‎ Concluding with a detailed summary of presented topics that readers have come to expect‎,‎ this edition provides useful problems‎,‎ references‎,‎ and assignments that help users apply MathCAD‎(‎R‎)‎ and Windmill programs to put their new learning into practice‎.‎ An invaluable tool for engineering students and professionals worldwide‎,‎ this book explores cutting‎-edge advances in modeling‎,‎ simulation‎,‎ and analysis of distribution systems that can ensure the continued dispersal of safe‎,‎ reliable energy
