Maintaining the reliable and efficient generation, transmission and
distribution of electrical power is of the utmost importance in a
world where electricity is the inevitable means of energy
acquisition, transportation, and utilization, and the principle
mode of communicating media. Our modern society is entirely
dependent on electricity, so problems involving the continuous
delivery of power can lead to the disruption and breakdown of vital
economic and social infrastructures.

This book brings together comprehensive technical information on
power system engineering, covering the fundamental theory of power
systems and their components, and the related analytical
approaches.

Key features:

* Presents detailed theoretical explanations of simple power
systems as an accessible basis for understanding the larger, more
complex power systems.

* Examines widely the theory, practices and implementation of
several power sub-systems such as generating plants, over-head
transmission lines and power cable lines, sub-stations, including
over-voltage protection, insulation coordination as well as power
systems control and protection.

* Discusses steady-state and transient phenomena from basic
power-frequency range to lightning- and switching-surge ranges,
including system faults, wave-form distortion and lower-order
harmonic resonance.

* Explains the dynamics of generators and power systems through
essential mathematical equations, with many numerical
examples.

* Analyses the historical progression of power system
engineering, in particular the descriptive methods of electrical
circuits for power systems.

Written by an author with a wealth of experience in the field,
both in industry and academia, the Handbook of Power System
Engineering provides a single reference work for practicing
engineers, researchers and those working in industry that want to
gain knowledge of all aspects of power systems. It is also valuable
for advanced students taking courses or modules in power system
engineering.
