TRANSMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING
To order this title, and for more information, click here Third Edition
By Colin Bayliss, United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA), Director of Major Projects (Main Board) Brian Hardy, Independent consultant & past Technical Advisor to BalfourBeatty capital
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.
