New FAQ - Reference Library
(OP)
I have taken some of the material from thread238-172749 and from thread238-105542 and added to it to create FAQ238-1287, What are good references for Power Engineers?.
I'd like feed back and suggestions for additional titles for the list. The list I've put together obviously has an ANSI/IEEE slant to it because that's what I'm familiar with and would be particularly interested in expanding it to include more material from the rest of the world, but I will limit it to things published in English (or British, American, Australian, or ...

This list is maybe a little more specific to certain topics, by here are a few of my additions.
"Electrical Transients in Power Systems" by Greenwood-a classic reference on the topic opf power system transients
"Transient Performance of Electric Power Systems
Phenomena in Lumped Networks" by Rheinhold Rudenberg
Another classical text on power system transients
"Electric Power Distribution Handbook" by T.A. Short-A comprhensive book packed with everything you need to know about distribution systems. Comparable and an updated version of the Westinghouse "Green" Utility Distribution Handbook
"Electrical Distibution System Protection" by Cooper Power Systems. A practical guide to distribution system protection, also now available in an updated version.
"Power System Analysis" by J.C. Das. This book gives comprehensive treatment of most aspects related to power systems analysis.
"Industrial Power System Handbook" by Donald Beeman. A bit dated, but another classic book packed full of information. You will find this one referenced many times in other books and papers.
"Electric Power Systems" by B.M. Weedy. Another classical power system text on par with Grainger and Stevenson and Gross.
"Southwire Overhead Conductor Manual" by Southwire. Full of hard to find information
RE: New FAQ - Reference Library
A couple of topics that aren't in the list yet are Motors and Power Electronics. My personal library is a bit short here (Chapman's Electric Machinery Fundamentals, Krishman's Electric Motor Drives, and Mohan's Power Electronics) and I am open to suggestions for these areas and confirmation that books I have might be widely used and worth including in the FAQ.
RE: New FAQ - Reference Library
'Principles of Electric Machines and Power Electronics' by P. C. Sen
'Electrical Machines, Drives, and Power Systems' by Theodore Wildi
'An Introduction to Power Electronics' by B.M. Bird, K.G. King, and D.A.G. Pedder
(The latter was my old boss - really nice guy to work for and has forgotten more than I know about power electronics)
'Copper for busbars' published by the Copper Development Association
(My copy was published before I was born, but it's a download now: htt
The whole 'Modern Power Station Practice' series published by Elsevier

You should check out all the manuals on this page and download the ones that are of use to you. They are pfd and pretty good (and free).

My favorite book which has a slight IEC slant but covers ANSI as well is "Industrial Power Engineering and applications handbook" by K.C Agrawal.
I use it all the time. It covers a breadth of areas in power system design and has a very good real world applications point of view...which is sometimes hard to find. It would really blow my mind if anyone was disappointed with this book!

The Areva NPAG site has changed and now you have to fill out a form before you can access the download. I didn't so I don't know for sure if the download is still free. The hard copy is no longer available, but well worth picking up if you find a copy for sale. Does anybody know a link that goes directly to the download version?
The ABB transformer link now seems to have only one of the three books listed, does anybody know if the other two are still readily available (I didn't feel like chasing my tail through that site tonight, may be later)?
Other suggestions are still very much welcome.

Thanks for the time you take to maintain the FAQ David.

I have three you might find helpful,
EGSA "On Site Power Generation: A Reference Book
ISBN 0-9625949-4-6 ordering info at www.egsa.org
Electrical Insulation of Rotating Machines
ISBN 0-471-44506-1 from IEEE series on Power Engineering
Title is somewhat misleading, found this a very good reference on generators and motors.
Protective Relaying for Power Generation Systems
ISBN 0-8247-0700-1 from CRC Press
Published in 2006, has some very good updated info, at least based on what I have been able to find.
Thank you for putting this together, a real wealth of info.
RE: New FAQ - Reference Library
Thanks a lot for your great work.
Reagrds.
