Electric Power Distribution Automation Protection and Control

New methods for automation and intelligent systems applications new trends in telecommunications and a recent focus on renewable energy are reshaping the educational landscape of today's power engineer. Providing a modern and practical vehicle to help students navigate this dynamic terrain Electric Power Distribution Automation Protection and Control infuses new directions in computation automation and control into classical topics in electric power distribution. Ideal for a one-semester course for senior undergraduates or first-year graduate students this text works systematically through basic distribution principles renewable energy sources computational tools and techniques reliability maintenance distribution automation and telecommunications. Numerous examples problems and case studies offer practical insight into the concepts and help build a working knowledge of protection schemes fault analysis and synthesis reliability analysis intelligent automation systems distribution management systems and distribution system communications. The author details different renewable energy sources and teaches students how to evaluate them in terms of size cost and performance. Guided firmly by the author's wealth of industrial and academic experience your students will learn the tools and techniques used to design build and operate future generations of distribution systems with unparalleled efficiency robustness and sustainability.
