Handbook of Power Systems Engineering with Power Electronics Applications

Formerly known as Handbook of Power System Engineering, this second edition provides rigorous revisions to the originaltreatment of systems analysis together with a substantial newfour-chapter section on power electronics applications. Encompassing a whole range of equipment, phenomena, and analyticalapproaches, this handbook offers a complete overview of powersystems and their power electronics applications, and presents athorough examination of the fundamental principles, combiningtheories and technologies that are usually treated in separatespecialised fields, in a single unified hierarchy.
Key features of this new edition:
* Updates throughout the entire book with new material coveringapplications to current topics such as brushless generators, speedadjustable pumped storage hydro generation, wind generation, small-hydro generation, solar generation, DC-transmission, SVC, SVG (STATCOM), FACTS, active-filters, UPS and advanced railwaytraffic applications
* Theories of electrical phenomena ranging from DC and powerfrequency to lightning-/switching-surges, and insulationcoordination now with reference to IEC Standards 2010
* New chapters presenting advanced theories and technologies ofpower electronics circuits and their control theories incombination with various characteristics of power systems as wellas induction-generator/motor driving systems
* Practical engineering technologies of generating plants, transmission lines, sub-stations, load systems and their combinednetwork that includes schemes of high voltage primary circuits, power system control and protection
A comprehensive reference for those wishing to gain knowledge inevery aspect of power system engineering, this book is suited topractising engineers in power electricity-related industries andgraduate level power engineering students.
