Analiza Nodala a Sistemelor Electroenergetice (Nodal Analysis of Power Systems) [by Paul Dimo]

The content of this very interesting book (Bucharest, Romania: Editura Academiei Republica Socialiste Romania, 1968, 627 pp.) by Paul Dimo is developed in 26 chapters and one appendix. The scope is very broad: the author advances an exhaustive treatment of the nodal analysis of power systems, as considered and developed for the past two decades by the writer and others in research institutes in Romania. This book is of prime interest and value for all engineers-in-practice and engineering college teachers concerned with power-systems operation and/or instruction because of the following reasons. All important aspects are discussed in depth; the particular method of analysis detailed in the text is powerful in manner and facile in use; the content is developed in a systematic lucid fashion; and the implementation of theory in practice is well illuminated by many detailed illustrative numerical examples, which well exemplify the advantages stemming from modern computer oriented techniques. Again, many details of theory, calculation, and practice are advanced which either are not to be found in English-language books in power-systems analysis or are further advanced in the detailed treatments given herein. In consequence this volume certainly should be in all college engineering libraries and on the personal reference shelves of all individuals concerned with modern power systems analysis and operation as teachers or engineers-in-practice.
