Handbook of Power Systems Engineering with Power Electronics Applications (ePub)

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.
