Bringing the content firmly up-to-date whilst still retaining the flavour of Weedy's extremely popular original, this \u003ci\u003eFifth Edition\u003c\/i\u003e has been revised by experts Nick Jenkins, Janaka Ekanayake and Goran Strbac. This wide-ranging text still covers all of the fundamental power systems subjects but is now expanded to cover increasingly important topics like climate change and renewable power generation. Updated material includes an analysis of today's markets and an examination of the current economic state of power generation. The physical limits of power systems equipment - currently being tested by the huge demand for power - is explored, and greater attention is paid to power electronics, voltage source and power system components, amongst a host of other updates and revisions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eSupplies an updated chapter on power system economics and management issues and extended coverage of power system components.
