Power System Operation

Part of my job with a large midwestern power company is to train load dispatchers. I'm constantly on the lookout for good material. Power System Operations by Miller is one of the best textbooks I've found to train non-degreed system operators. I used the first edition myself when I was a new load dispatcher, and I found it to be a great self-study guide.One problem with the latest (third) edition, there are no answers provided for the questions at the end of the chapter. This is no problem if the book is used in a classroom as the instructor should be able to figure them out. But for self-study it is absolutely necessary for the publisher to provide the answers to the chapter tests. Also, there are a few typos in the chapter on reactive power that could be very misleading to students who are already struggling.The book concentrates mainly on transmission but the first four chapters are useful for distribution dispatchers as well. They provide a good foundation for teaching system overview, AC fundamentals and reactive power. The chapters on protective relaying, while still giving a basic overview of the various schemes, are a bit dated because they don't cover some of the latest microprocessor-based relays that have been replacing the electro-mechanical ones over the past several years.This is not the be-all and end-all for training system operators, but when combined with on-the-job training and other supplementary material it can help establish a solid training program.

A little outdated as far as power line electronic monitoring these days but it is updated in the 1990's. Good book for understanding power transmission for people applying for power plant jobs!

This is an excellent introduction to power system operation

Clear and concise explanation of the principles. Good coverage of the relevant themes. A very good introduction to power system operation, even for non-specialists.

An outstanding book for new system operators. While nothing can teach you like on-the-job training. This book does help you especially for power system employers that pre test for a job interview.

This book is so good. I recommend it for electrical engineers have relations with power system operation.

Good book for any power system operator.

I waited for six weeks before I received the product. I received it today and the cover says "INDIAN EDITION". I don't know if it is different from the English Edition. I feel like I was duped.

good

As promised
