Description
This book provides a comprehensive practical treatment of the modelling of electrical power systems, and the theory and practice of fault
analysis of power systems covering detailed and advanced theories as well as modern industry practices.
The continuity and quality of
electricity delivered safely and economically by today?s and future?s electrical power networks are important for both developed and
developing economies. The correct modelling of power system equipment and correct fault analysis of electrical networks are pre-requisite
to ensuring safety and they play a critical role in the identification of economic network investments. Environmental and economic factors
require engineers to maximise the use of existing assets which in turn require accurate modelling and analysis techniques. The technology
described in this book will always be required for the safe and economic design and operation of electrical power systems.
The book
describes relevant advances in industry such as in the areas of international standards developments, emerging new generation technologies
such as wind turbine generators, fault current limiters, multi-phase fault analysis, measurement of equipment parameters, probabilistic
short-circuit analysis and electrical interference.
Audience
For the teaching of modern electrical power engineering at universities, graduate and practising professional engineers by covering undocumented
theoretical and practical knowledge and practical engineering problems and solutions.
