Review Power System Restoration: Methodologies and Implementation Strategies / Wiley-IEEE Press:"At a time when bulk power systems operate close to their design limits, the restructuring of the electric power industry has created vulnerability to potential blackouts. Prompt and effective power system restoration is essential for the minimization of downtime and costs to the utility and its customers, which mount rapidly after a system blackout. Power System Restoration meets the complex challenges that arise from the dynamic capabilities of new technology in areas such as large-scale system analysis, communication and control, data management, artificial intelligence, and allied disciplines. It provides an up-to-date description of the restoration methodologies and implementation strategies practiced internationally. The book opens with a general overview of the restoration process and then covers: * Techniques used in restoration planning and training * Knowledge-based systems as operational aids in restoration * Issues associated with hydro and thermal power plants * High and extra-high voltage transmission systems * Restoration of distribution systems Power System Restoration is essential reading for all power system planners and operating engineers in the power industry. It is also a valuable reference for researchers, practicing power engineers, and engineering students. " Sponsored by: IEEE Power Engineering Society.

Review Powerline Ampacity System: Theory, Modeling and Applications / CRC:Civilization's demands for electricity continue to grow, yet environmental, regulatory, and economic constraints often preclude the construction of new power plants and transmission lines. The challenge now faced by engineers, equipment manufacturers, and regulatory agencies is to find ways to maximize the capacity of existing power lines. Powerline Ampacity System is the first step in meeting that challenge. Along with developing a complete theory of transmission line ampacity, the author uses object-oriented modeling and expert rules to build a power line ampacity system. He describes new transmission line conductor technologies and power electronics FACTS devices that can take full advantage of a dynamic line rating system. He offers examples that clearly show the economic benefit of operating an interconnected transmission network that has a diverse mix of electricity generation sources. He also discusses - with examples - generator stability enhancement by dynamic line rating.

Review Power Transmission and Distribution / Fairmont Pr:Our ever-increasing dependence on electricity demands improvements in the quality of its supply. The deregulation of electric (and other) utilities, the events of 9/11, and the blackouts in North America, London, and the Italian peninsula evidence this need. This book looks at our current transmission systems and how loop circuits can substantially improve the reliability of transmission lines, essentially to provide a two-way feed to the consumer and insuring continuity of service if a fault develops on the circuit. It also covers distribution systems and includes information on how small generating units can be connected directly to the distribution system in the same manner as in larger cogenerating units.

Review A Guide to Small Wind Energy Conversion Systems / Cambridge University Press:This enterprising book is intended as a practical guide to all wind-energy generators up to 100 kW rated capacity. Very small machines such as battery chargers are included, though the main emphasis is on the 20 kW to 100 kW range. Small wind-energy conversion systems are being purchased in increasing numbers in the UK. They are used mainly in remote and island installations (especially on farms) to reduce dependence on conventional fuels such as oil and bottled gas. But the book is not just a practical handbook for those who already have a machine; it supplies sufficient information to allow potential purchasers to decide whether the installation of such a generator would be cost-effective in their own particular circumstances.

Review Innovation Diffusion and Political Control of Energy Technologies: A Comparison of Combined Heat and Power Generation in the UK and Germany (Contributions to Economics) / Physica-Verlag Heidelberg:The book investigates two important subjects simultaneously. On the one hand, it is concerned with the detailed processes which have lead to quite different innovation diffusion pathways of combined heat and power technology in the UK and Germany since the early Eighties. On the other hand, this empirical work serves to demonstrate the application of a novel multi-disciplinary and prospective research approach. This approach, which is explicitly formulated in both theoretical and methodological terms, is used to explore the possibilities and limitations of controlling the transformation of large socio-technical systems by poltical means.
