Due to the size and complexity of Electric Power Systems (EPS), their study is conducted through simulation on computers, based on the development and analysis of the mathematical model of EPS.

This book addresses the material necessary to understand the operation of the main components of an EPS (i.e., synchronous generators, power transformers, and voltage regulation, transmission lines), detailing their mathematical models and the way they are combined to create the model of the overall EPS for study under steady-state condition.

A brief overview of the fundamental studies conducted on EPS is also included to assess their behavior in both steady-state and transient operational conditions.
