Handbook of Power Systems Engineering with Power Electronics Applications 2e

Formerly known as Handbook of Power System Engineering, this second edition provides rigorous revisions to the original treatment of systems analysis together with a substantial new four-chapter section on power electronics applications. Encompassing a whole range of equipment, phenomena, and analytical approaches, this handbook offers a complete overview of power systems and their power electronics applications, and presents a thorough examination of the fundamental principles, combining theories and technologies that are usually treated in separate specialised fields, in a single unified hierarchy.

Key features of this new edition:
* Updates throughout the entire book with new material covering applications to current topics such as brushless generators, speed adjustable pumped storage hydro generation, wind generation, small-hydro generation, solar generation, DC-transmission, SVC, SVG (STATCOM), FACTS, active-filters, UPS and advanced railway traffic applications
* Theories of electrical phenomena ranging from DC and power frequency to lightning-/switching-surges, and insulation coordination now with reference to IEC Standards 2010
* New chapters presenting advanced theories and technologies of power electronics circuits and their control theories in combination with various characteristics of power systems as well as induction-generator/motor driving systems
* Practical engineering technologies of generating plants, transmission lines, sub-stations, load systems and their combined network that includes schemes of high voltage primary circuits, power system control and protection

A comprehensive reference for those wishing to gain knowledge in every aspect of power system engineering, this book is suited to practising engineers in power electricity-related industries and graduate level power engineering students.

Based on the revised Japanese edition, published by Maruzen in March 2011, this book provides a single reference work for practitioners in the industry who wish to gain knowledge of all aspects of power system engineering. It is unique in its coverage and scientific explanations, taking a practical-viewpoint where other titles show only the academic view. Detailed explanations of the fundamental science can be seen throughout the book. A very wide coverage includes several different areas of engineering, including: equipment such as generators, transmission lines, cables, substation, transformers, circuit breakers,  line -switch, arrestors,  local-control (AVR , AQR etc..),  protection,  dispatching, AFC ,  power-flow-control, stability-control,  and system-voltage-stability-control, etc.. The book also covers important areas such as: power phenomena, steady-state, transient, wave-form-distortion, fault, stability, lightning-surge, switching-surge, insulation-coordination, traveling-wave, switching, re-closing, generator-control, power-flow , over-voltage, resonance,  voltage-disturbance and stability ,  var-disturbance , generator-operation- behavior , mis-connection, and more. Later on in the book, analytical approaches are discussed, such as  matrix-analysis, symbolic-method, symmetrical-components, --0-components, d-q-0-components,  switching-analysis Laplace-transform,transfer-function fault-analysis ,surge-analysis ,stability-analysis, and switching-analysis. The newest IEC-standards 2010  are referred to throughout and two brand new chapters have been added to demonstrate HVDC, SVC, FACTs, and other power electronic applications

An update to the comprehensive reference that presents a classical treatment of systems analysis, now including the IEC-Standards 2010 Based on the revised Japanese edition, published by Maruzen in March 2011, this book provides a single reference work for practitioners in the industry who wish to gain knowledge of all aspects of power system engineering. It is unique in its coverage and scientific explanations, taking a practical-viewpoint where other titles show only the academic view. Detailed explanations of the fundamental science can be seen throughout the book. Includes new chapters and coverage of the theories and practical applications of power electronics, including EHV and high voltage applications such as DC-transmission, SVC, speed adjustable pumped storage hydro generation, and various power conditioner applications such as UPS, wind generation, and FACTs Includes the IEC-Standards from 2010 Unique in taking a practical engineering view-point, rather than academic A thorough treatment of fundamental principles of power system engineering and theories of the power system network, combining theories and technologies, usually treated in separate specialised fields, into a single unified hierarchy
