Power System Analysis
When John Grainger began revising William Stevenson’s classic Elements of Power System Analysis, he realized that a complete modernization was in order. By the time he finished, an entirely new book was written, re-titled Power System Analysis. Covering such topics as power flow, power system stability and transmission lines, Power System Analysis teaches the fundamental topics of power system analysis using logical discussions and numerous examples. The new chapter on power system state estimation incorporates the latest developments in the field, and the discussion of system control covers economic factors of line losses and penalty factors. The loyal following earned by Stevenson will surely enjoy the modern power system analysis presented here..
Elements of Petroleum Geology
This Second Edition of Elements of Petroleum Geology is completely updated and revised to reflect the vast changes in the field in the fifteen years since the publication of the First Edition. This book is a useful primer for geophysicists, geologists, and petroleum engineers in the oil industry who wish to expand their knowledge beyond their specialized area. It is also an excellent introductory text for a university course in petroleum geoscience.Elements of Petroleum Geology begins with an account of the physical and chemical properties of petroleum, reviewing methods of petroleum exploration and production. These methods include drilling, geophysical exploration techniques, wireline logging, and subsurface geological mapping. After describing the temperatures and pressures of the subsurface environment and the hydrodynamics of connate fluids, Selley examines the generation and migration of petroleum, reservoir rocks and trapping mechanisms, and the habit of petroleum in sedimentary basins. The book contains an account of the composition and formation of tar sands and oil shales, and concludes with a brief review of prospect risk analysis, reserve estimation, and other economic topics..
