Electrical Distribution Engineering, Third Edition

Product Description

Newly revised and edited, this comprehensive volume provides up-to-date information on the latest developments which impact planning and design of electrical distribution systems. Addressing topics such as mechanical designs, materials improvements, total quality control, computer, and electronic circuitry, this book answers questions on everything from the basics of electrical and mechanical design to the selection of optimum materials and equipment. Beginning with initial planning consideration, this book gives a step-by-step guide through each stage of mechanical design of the principal facilities, including substation installation. Also included is data-backed assessment of the latest advance in materials, conductors, insulators, transformers, regulators, capacitators, switches, and substation equipment. Also covered is key non-technical and operation considerations such as safety, quality of service, load shedding, brownouts, demand controls and more. New material in the third edition includes data on polymer insulators, expansion of coverage of cogeneration, distributed generation and underground systems

Control and Automation of Electrical Power Distribution Systems

Editorial Reviews

Product DescriptionImplementing the automation of electric distribution networks, from simple remote control to the application of software-based decision tools, requires many considerations, such as assessing costs, selecting the control infrastructure type and automation level, deciding on the ambition level, and justifying the solution through a business case. Control and Automation of Electric Power Distribution Systems addresses all of these issues to aid you in resolving automation problems and improving the management of your distribution network. Bringing together automation concepts as they apply to utility distribution systems, this volume presents the theoretical and practical details of a control and automation solution for the entire distribution system of substations and feeders. The fundamentals of this solution include depth of control, boundaries of control responsibility, stages of automation, automation intensity levels, and automated device preparedness. To meet specific performance goals, the authors discuss distribution planning, performance calculations, and protection to facilitate the selection of the primary device, associated secondary control, and fault indicators. The book also provides two case studies that illustrate the business case for distribution automation (DA) and methods for calculating benefits, including the assessment of crew time savings. As utilities strive for better economies, DA, along with other tools described in this volume, help to achieve improved management of the distribution network. Using Control and Automation of Electric Power Distribution Systems, you can embark on the automation solution best suited for your needs.
