Computational Methods for Electric Power Systems

Updated to reflect new research in this field, this third edition of a bestseller presents computational methods that form the basis of analytical studies of power systems. The new edition expands the theory behind Krylov subspace methods, covers preconditioning approaches, termination properties, and specialized methods CGNR and CGNE. It also discusses Newton-iterative methods, Jacobian Free Newton, Newton-Krylov methods, difference step selection, current injection power flow, and more. It contains new sections on Eigenvalues problems and the pseudo-Inverse of a matrix along with expanded examples and problems.
