Review CRC  / Distribution System Modeling and Analysis (Electric Power Engineering Series) Edition: 1
Publication date: 2001-08-31
Dewey code: 621.31
Price: $99.95

Review Distribution System Modeling and Analysis (Electric Power Engineering Series) / CRC:

A gap has long persisted in electric power engineering education and industry as distribution system engineering has typically taken a backseat to the more exotic areas of transmission system modeling and analysis. This text fills that gap. It defines the major components of a distribution system from the bulk power substation to the customer's meter and clarifies the concept of "load. " The author develops models of the various components comprising a distribution system, ranging from the very approximate to the most accurate. He includes the derivation of all models and includes many numerical examples demonstrating the use of models in solving typical problems.

Pertinent equations are developed. 80 practical case studies based on real-life work experience come with the text. These are analysed providing the results and commenting on the output. Furthermore, 80 end-of-chapter problems are provided. A detailed solution manual is available. The book can be used as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate students, in short-courses offered by consultants and institutes, as well as a tutorial, reference, or self-study course for practising engineers in the industry and electric utilities.

Review Institution of Electrical Engineers  / Protection of Electricity Distribution Networks (IEE Power Series, No. 28) (Iee Power Series , No 28) Publication date: 1998-06
Dewey code: 621
Price: $90.00

Review Protection of Electricity Distribution Networks (IEE Power Series, No. 28) (Iee Power Series , No 28) / Institution of Electrical Engineers:

Protection of the distribution network is an essential factor in the provision of power to consumers who expect a high level of security for their supply. Given that approximately 75 percent of all power cuts are due to faults on distribution networks, suitable network protection schemes, as covered in detail in this book, are essential to improve the continuity and quality of supply. With up to date coverage of the theoretical and practical aspects of protection equipment on networks and in electrical plant, it has been written as a reference guide for professional engineers and students and includes many detailed practical examples and case studies. The book provides a comprehensive guide for those engaged in the co-ordination and setting or study of protection on distribution systems.
