Description
Most books on transmission and distribution electrical engineering are student texts that focus on theory, brief overviews, or specialised
monographs. Colin Bayliss and Brian Hardy have produced a unique and comprehensive handbook aimed squarely at practising engineers and
planners involved in all aspects of getting electricity from the power plant to the user via the power grid.
The scope of this book
embraces power systems, substations, cabling, switchgear, power systems protection, overhead lines, project management, planning, regulations,
and more...
The third edition has been fully updated throughout in line with current IEC and European standards, an approach which
has resulted in a thoroughly rewritten chapter on earthing and bonding and significant revisions to the chapters on EMC, insulation coordination
and overhead line design. There is increased emphasis on reliability concepts and greatly expanded treatment of the subject of power
quality..
The resulting book is an essential guide and a hard-working reference for all engineers, technicians, managers and planners
involved in the electricity supply industry, and related areas such as generation, and industrial electricity usage.
Audience:
Graduate / chartered engineers and Technician engineers working in electricity generation and distribution.Engineers, managers
and planners involved in power system planning and project management.
