 Excellent developmental tool for Power System Operators Apr 20, 1998
Power System Operation provides a well structured knowledge base and reference for the new and seasoned power system operator. It will serve as the foundational and theoretical basis for many of the experienced based knowledge that is passed from operator to operator. I would recommend that all power system operators be equipped with this book as must read material.

Great Little Primer for Load Dispatchers Jul 09, 2003
By Garry L. Morey
Part of my job with a large midwestern power company is to train load dispatchers. I'm constantly on the lookout for good material. Power System Operations by Miller is one of the best textbooks I've found to train non-degreed system operators. I used the first edition myself when I was a new load dispatcher, and I found it to be a great self-study guide. One problem with the latest (third) edition, there are no answers provided for the questions at the end of the chapter. This is no problem if the book is used in a classroom as the instructor should be able to figure them out. But for self-study it is absolutely necessary for the publisher to provide the answers to the chapter tests. Also, there are a few typos in the chapter on reactive power that could be very misleading to students who are already struggling. The book concentrates mainly on transmission but the first four chapters are useful for distribution dispatchers as well. They provide a good foundation for teaching system overview, AC fundamentals and reactive power. The chapters on protective relaying, while still giving a basic overview of the various schemes, are a bit dated because they don't cover some of the latest microprocessor-based relays that have been replacing the electro-mechanical ones over the past several years. This is not the be-all and end-all for training system operators, but when combined with on-the-job training and other supplementary material it can help establish a solid training program.

Well done Jun 27, 2009
By B. Duncan
My purpose in buying this book was to prepare for a test to become NERC certified as a power grid operator. There are several resources that I have also been studying that are available online as PDF downloads etc. I found that the book Power System Operation provided the best overall view on the whole subject matter. I do wish that there would have been answers to the questions at the end of each chapter,,, but it is also possible to go back and read more from the chapter and the answers will jump out at you with a little effort to re read the text. I still need to take the test but I feel confident that this book has helped me to pull it all together... well worth the purchase price and time to read the book.

Power System Operation is an important book for people that operate grids. It could be a support for electric engineering students.

 Book is 30 years old Dec 23, 2008
By Julie Davis
"italics20"
it was not at all clear that this book was written in the 70s. It's completely outdated. When i click on "more info" it shows me an excerpt from the 1994 hardcover.
Waste of money. If year written is important, i won't buy used books from amazon again.
