Power Systems Signal Processing In the Context of Smart Grids

Of making many books there is no end, 
and much study wearies the body.
Ecclesiastes 12:12



Finally, some philosophical considerations regarding the utilization and reception of this book (or any other book), paraphrased from the writings of British author CS Lewis:
 "A scientific or engineering work such as this can be either "received" or "used." When we "receive" it, we exercise our senses and imagination and various other powers according to a pattern suggested by the authors. When we “use" it we treat it as an assistance for our own activities.  . . . "Using" is inferior to "receiving" because science and engineering, if used rather than received, merely facilitates, relieves or palliates our research/applications?; it  does not add to it."
The authors hope that the reader will both use and receive this book as a useful engineering tool and thought-provoking guide.
