Power Systems Modelling

You should preface all your requests with "I am a young engineer from Asia".

It would alert members that you are learning and have not yet mastered the art of information retrieval from the web.

Finally, admonishing members to "don't waste your time to show off here" may discourage some/many from helping you, for fear of being assumed to be showing off by supplying the very information you desire.

In spite of your last statement, against my natural inclinations under these circumstances, I would recommend you consider:

http://www.emtp.org

and

http://www.atpdraw.net

Good luck with your quest.

You'll have to do it the old fashioned way, by studying the classics:

Elements of Power System Analysis, by Stevens, et al

The Electrical Transmission and Distribution Book, from Westinghouse

The Protective Relaying Handbook, from GE

Computer Methods in Power System Analysis, by Stagg and Al-Abiad

Power System Stability and Control, by Prabha Kundur

After you plow through those 3,500+/- pages you'll have been exposed to most of the electrical power engineer's lexicon. Next you work the classic problems by hand so that you get a feel for what the numbers mean, then you can finally start learning how to use the major s/w packages out there.

There are no short cuts, anything short of that process and you'll have learned the true meaning of GIGO.

I would like to give thanks to all of you who contributed to this thread with regards to the subject at hand. especially to Brave Sir Robin and RAMConsult.

Also as with my last statement, i would like to make a sincere apology if i have offended someone or will offend someone that will visit or view this thread, it is not my intention to be arrogant and to insult someone here. I admit that what i've said was unnecessary and i am very sorry.

Next time i will be careful in choosing the right words before posting something here.

Being a part of this community is a big help for me as i got some insights here that is not offered previously during my time as a student and of course right now being a young electrical engineer.

That's it for now, as for fellow users who will be visiting this thread, please keep the discussion in a healthy manner. By the way i will also try to use ETAP in parallel with reading the materials suggested here. Thank you so much
