Electric Power Systems: Analysis and Control / Fabio Saccomanno.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
FABIO SACCOMANNO received his masters degree in electrical engineering from the University of Genoa, Italy, where he is a full professor of Automatic Controls, and is a lecturer on the automation of power systems. Previously, he was involved in design and research in the electric power industry, first with a utility of the Edison Group in Northern Italy, and then as a research manager at the Automatics Research Center of the Italian Electricity Board (ENEL). He is an internationally recognized expert with extensive practical experience in the areas discussed in this book.
