Power System Engineering Enables the Reader to Adapt the Basics of Power Systems and Equipment Design to Engineering Projects

Posted on: Monday, 7 July 2008, 12:00 CDT

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/6b4632/power_system_engin) has announced the addition of the "Power System Engineering: Planning, Design, and Operation of Power Systems and Equipment" report to their offering.

Describing in detail how electrical power systems are planned and designed, this monograph illustrates the required structures of systems, substations and equipment using international standards and latest computer methods.

The book discusses the advantages and disadvantages of the different arrangements within switchyards and of the topologies of the power systems, describing methods to determine the main design parameters of cables, overhead lines, and transformers needed to realize the supply task, as well as the influence of environmental conditions on the design and the permissible loading of the equipment. Additionally, general requirements for protection schemes and the main schemes related to the various protection tasks are given.

With its focus on the requirements and procedures of tendering and project contracting, this book enables the reader to adapt the basics of power systems and equipment design to special tasks and engineering projects.

Key Topics Covered:

1. Introduction

2. Power System Load and Load Forecast

3. Planning Principles and Planning Criteria

4. Determination and Assessment of Losses

5. Topologies of Electrical Power Systems

6. Arrangement in Switchyards

7. Power Transformers
