Description:
Power Systems (Volume I) by J.B. Gupta, published by S.K. Kataria & Sons, is an authoritative guide designed for students and professionals in the field of electrical engineering. With 15 editions, this paperback edition released in 2014 provides a detailed examination of power systems, including generation, transmission, and distribution of electrical power.

The book is divided into three major parts:

• Generation and Economic Considerations, covering different power plants, their economic operations, and environmental concerns.
• Transmission and Distribution, focusing on the design, performance, and systems involved in transmitting and distributing electrical power.
• Switchgear and Protection, which explains the analysis and protection mechanisms used in electrical systems.
