Opis

The book proposes a new paradigm for power theory that can be used in power systems and electrical networks. This new approach links electromagnetic and circuit theories in a coherent way by taking a fresh look at the old debates of poynting vector and reactive power as well as offering a mathematically consistent.

O autorze

Alexander I. Petroianu is a specialist in power system analysis, operation, and control. Educated in Russia and Romania, he has broad experience in the power industry as dispatcher and head of the software department at the National Control Center in Romania, head of software development group at Brown-Boveri/ABB Germany, consultant to Eskom, the national power utility of South Africa, and technical manager (transmission) of the South African Power System Studies Institute. He is professor emeritus of Electrical Engineering, University of Cape Town, adjunct professor at the University of Calgary (Canada), a Life Fellow of the IEEE, and member of VDE, SAIEE, CIGRÉ, and IFAC. His recent research has focused on geometrical interpretation of the power transmission phenomenon. This book reflects his investigation into the mathematical and physical aspects of power theory.
