Industrial Power Systems: Evolutionary Aspects
provides evolutionary and integrated aspects of industrial power
systems including review of development of modern power systems from DC
to microgrid. Generation options of thermal and hydro power including
nuclear and power from renewables are discussed along with concepts for
single-line diagram, overhead transmission lines, concepts of corona,
sag, overhead insulators and over voltage protective devices. Subsequent
chapters cover analysis of power systems and power system protection
with basic concept of power system planning and economic operations.
Features:
- Covers the fundamentals of power systems, including its design, analysis, market structure and economic operations
- Discusses performance of transmission lines with associated parameters, determination of performance and load flow analysis
- Reviews residual generation/load imbalance as handled by the automatic generation control (AGC)
- Includes
different advanced technologies including HTLS overhead conductor, XLPE
cable, vacuum/SF6 circuit breaker, solid state relays, among others
- Explores
practical aspects required for field level work such as installation of
cable network for power distribution purposes, types of earthing and
tariff mechanism
This book will be of
interest to graduate students, researchers and professionals in power
engineering, load flow and power systems protection.
