Review The Evolution of Electric Power Transmission Under Deregulation: Selected Readings / Institute of Electrical & Electronics Enginee:

Will the bulk electric power system be as reliable in the future as it has been in the past? Those who have addressed this question have generally only dealt with generating capacity. But there is another side to this equation - the transmission system - and to ignore it is to focus on only half the problem. In this compendium, readers will find some of the latest and most classic articles and papers on the evolution and development of electric power transmission systems. The collection presents, in an accessible manner, timely and important information about transmission systems from a wide variety of publications. Areas covered include: an overview of deregulation issues; an overview of electric power transmission; transmission system planning and design; transmission system operation; transmission transfer capacity; restructuring, reliability and transmission; and transmission system components and research.

Review Industrial and Commercial Power Systems Technical Conference, 1998 IEEE / Institute of Electrical & Electronics Enginee:

Attended by some of the world's leading experts in the field, this conference addresses applications involving power subsystems in industrial, commercial, and local distribution. The impact of local conditions on test and analysis techniques are presented along with suggestions for practical corrections to offset the errors that might be overlooked. Safety, quality, and performance reliability of these industrial, commercial, and local subsystems are described in relation to the growth of installations of computer, medical, and other electronic equipment.

Review Computational Methods for Electric Power Systems (Electric Power Engineering Series) / CRC:

The sheer size of today's power grid and the increasingly stressed conditions under which power systems operate demand the use of computers for analysis and simulations. Yet commercial software packages often fail or give erroneous results when used to simulate stressed systems. To correctly interpret the results, it is therefore imperative that power engineers understand the underlying numerical algorithms of the software. Computational Methods for Electric Power Systems provides a comprehensive study of the various computational methods that form the basis of many analytical studies of power systems. It presents the analytical background of the algorithms used in many commercially available software packages, thereby enabling readers to make more informed decisions in their use of the software and correctly interpret their results. The book furnishes a well-balanced discussion of the theory and applications of the algorithms and supports them with instructional examples and illustrations. As more and more demands are placed on the nation's power systems, predicting and updating the operating status of a network through systems analysis becomes increasingly important. This book builds the background necessary to successfully perform that analysis and prepares readers to cope with any difficulties they may encounter in practice. Features·An in-depth examination of the computational methods that underlie analytical studies related to power systems and many other scientific and engineering fields·Detailed examples that allow readers to rapidly assimilate the algorithms described·Well written exposition designed for engineers-without rigorous mathematical theorems and terminology·Exercises in each chapter, both "paper and pencil" problems and exercises that require programming.

Review Power Plant Permitting / Pennwell Books:

This is a practical guide on how to successfully complete the process of acquiring a power plant permit, from the conception to licensing. It provides an overview of the elements required by regulatory agencies which have to be examined, researched and studied as part of the process of building a new plant or retrofitting an existing plant. The specific details of the environmental requirements vary by locality, however, the overall scope of the process is consistent: site selection, baseline characterization, systems analysis; impacts of construction and operation, and design alternatives. Each of these steps is examined in detail, the applicable regulatory criteria summarized and permitting strategies, with real-life examples, are presented.

Review Control of Induction Motors (Electrical and Electronic Engineering) (Engineering) / Academic Press:

This book is a comprehensive reference source for practicing engineers and students specializing in electric power engineering and industrial electronics. It will illustrate the state of the art in induction motors. Beginning with characteristics and basic dynamic models of induction motors, and progressing to low- and high- performance drive systems. The book will be rich in useful information, without an excessive mathematical burden. Computer simulations resulting in mock oscillograms of physical quantities are used for illustration of basic control concepts. The content of this book is divided into three basic parts: 1) control-oriented description of induction motors, 2) control methods, and systems, 3) control means. An induction motor is presented as an electromechanical power converter, and basic relations between the electrical, magnetic and mechanical quantities in the motor will be explained. Control methods and systems will be classified according to the controlled variables(torque, speed, flux), actuating variables(voltage, current), and dynamic performance (uncontrolled, low-performance, and high-performance). An overview of power electronic converters and information processing equipment used in the modern induction motor drives is included. Such systematic approach will give the readers a comprehensive overview of the field of induction motor control.
