As Joseph Swidler, former Chairman of the Federal Power Commission (predecessor
of FERC) often stated, “There are many disagreements about the
best electric power policy for the USA, but there is no disagreement it is often
being established without adequate analyses.” Government and business decisions
on electricity supplies often fail to recognize how power systems work
and the uncertainties involved. Those involved do not always mean the same
thing although they use identical words. Incorrect assumptions have been
made about the operation of the electric system and continue to be made
based on the operation of telephone systems, gas systems, and other physical
systems that are not applicable to electric power systems.

The purpose of this book is to help those in government, business, educational
institutions, and the general public have a better understanding of electric
power systems, institutions, and the electric power business. The first nine
chapters focus on the technology of electric power; the last eight cover the
institutions and business practices. Why must business practices be included
in such a text? Because technical and institutional practices need to be coordinated
to meet our needs. New technologies require new institutional
approaches; new institutional mechanisms require new technology. Both must
be understood.
The original text for this book was written in 1984. It was used for instructional
purposes in a number of courses for electrical engineers who were not
power systems engineers, for lawyers, accountants, economists, government
officials, and public interest groups. Since then some technological changes and
many institutional changes have occurred. With the advent of the internet,
many new and valuable publications and information sources have become
available and were used in its preparation. It includes ideas and information
from many segments of the industry and many knowledgeable people in the
industry, and is based on educational programs of the American Education
Institute (AEI).

The book covers such subjects as electric power systems, their components
(generation, transmission, distribution), electricity use, electric system operation,
control and planning, power system reliability, government regulation,
utility rate making, and financial considerations. It describes the “six netsource

works”: (1) the physical network, (2) the fuel/energy network, (3) the money
network, (4) the information, communication, and control network, (5) the
regulatory network, and (6) the business network, which are interconnected
in the provision of electric power. It provides the reader with an understanding
of the equipment involved in providing electric power, the functioning of
the electric power system, the factors determining the reliability of service, the
factors involved in determining the costs of electric power, and many other
technical subjects. It provides the engineer with background on the institutions
under which power systems function. It can be used as a classroom text, as
well as a reference for consultation.While a book of this length cannot provide
in-depth discussions of many key factors, it is hoped it provides the broad
understanding that is needed. Ample references are provided for those who
wish to pursue important points further. The index facilitates the location of
background material as needed.The authors welcome comments, suggestions,
additional information and corrections.They hope you, your company, and all
consumers benefit from it.
