Infos

The development of power semiconductors with greater ratings and
improved characteristics has meant that the power industry has
become more willing to develop new converter configurations. These
new configurations take advantage of the higher controllability and
switching frequencies of the new devices. The next few years will
decide which of the proposed technologies will dominate future
power transmission systems.

Flexible Power Transmission is a comprehensive guide to
the high voltage direct current (HVDC) options available, helping
the reader to make informed decisions for designing future power
transmission systems. The book includes:

* a full description of the principles and components in existing
converter technology, as well as alternative proposals for
self-commutating conversion; A review of the state of power
semiconductors suited to HVDC transmission and present proposals
for multi-level HVDC transmission.

* a detailed overview of the flexible HVDC methods for improving
controllability and increasing power transfer capability in
electrical power systems.

* up-to-date information on thyrisistor-based HVDC
technology.

* coverage of new pulse width modulation (PWM) transmission
technology and multi-level voltage source conversion (VSC) and
current source conversion (CSC).

An excellent reference for professional power engineers,
Flexible Power Transmission is also a useful guide for power
system researchers as well as lecturers and students in power
systems and power electronics disciplines.

Autor

Jos Arrillaga is a very experienced author, now an Emeritus Professor from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Canterbury, New Zealand. He has written 10 books, including 5 for Wiley on the topic of electrical power systems, such as Power System Harmonics, 2nd Edition (Wiley, 2003), Computer Modelling of Electrical Power Systems 2nd Edition (Wiley 2001) and High Voltage Direct Current Transmission (IEE, 1998). He has also written over 350 journal and conference papers. During the course of his career he has supervised around 50 PhD and 60 MSc/ME theses, most of them on the subject of high voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission, and he has also participated and convened several working groups. In 1997 he was awarded the Uno Lamm medal for outstanding contributions to HVDC transmission and he was in the New Years Honours list as a member of the New Zealand order of Merit. Y. H.
