Power system analysis and design

English | 2011 | ISBN: 1111425779 | 828 pages | PDF | 22,29 Mb

 The objective of this book is to present methods of power system analysis and
design, particularly with the aid of a personal computer, in su‰cient depth
to give the student the basic theory at the undergraduate level. The approach
is designed to develop students’ thinking processes, enabling them to reach a
sound understanding of a broad range of topics related to power system
engineering, while motivating their interest in the electrical power industry.
Because we believe that fundamental physical concepts underlie creative
engineering and form the most valuable and permanent part of an engineering
education, we highlight physical concepts while giving due attention to mathematical
techniques. Both theory and modeling are developed from simple beginnings
so that they can be readily extended to new and complex situations.

This edition of the text features new Chapter 14 entitled, Power Distribution.
During the last decade, major improvements in distribution reliability
have come through automated distribution and more recently through the
introduction of ‘‘smart grids.’’ Chapter 14 introduces the basic features of primary
and secondary distribution systems as well as basic distribution components
including distribution substation transformers, distribution transformers,
and shunt capacitors. We list some of the major distribution software vendors
followed by an introduction to distribution reliability, distribution automation,
and smart grids.
This edition also features the following: (1) wind-energy systems modeling
in the chapter on transient stability; (2) discussion of reactive/pitch control
of wind generation in the chapter on powers system controls; (3) updated case
studies for nine chapters along with four case studies from the previous edition
describing present-day, practical applications and new technologies; (4) an
updated PowerWorld Simulator package; and (5) updated problems at the end
of chapters.
One of the most challenging aspects of engineering education is giving
students an intuitive feel for the systems they are studying. Engineering systems
are, for the most part, complex. While paper-and-pencil exercises can
be quite useful for highlighting the fundamentals, they often fall short in
imparting the desired intuitive insight. To help provide this insight, the book
uses PowerWorld Simulator to integrate computer-based examples, problems,
and design projects throughout the text.
