DESCRIPTION:
Pieter Schavemaker, Principal Consultant, the Netherlands (nlnkedin/in/pieterschavemaker) Lou van der Sluis, Professor emeritus Electrical Power Systems, Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands
After laying out the basics for a steady-state analysis of the three-phase power system, the book examines: Generation, transmission, distribution, and utilization of electric energyWind energy, solar energy, and hydropowerPower system protection and circuit breakersPower system control and operationOrganization of electricity markets and the changes currently taking placeSystem blackoutsFuture developments in power systems, HVDC connections, and smart grids The book is supplemented by a companion website from which teaching materials can be downloaded. The existing grid is not adapted for this purpose as it is largely a remnant from the 20th century. With an original approach, the book covers the generation of electric energy from thermal power plants through renewable energy sources and treats the incorporation
The electrical power supply is about to change; future generation will increasingly take place in and near local neighborhoods with diminishing reliance on distant power plants. Throughout there are examples and case studies that back up the theory or techniques presented.The authors set out information on mathematical modelling and equations in appendices rather than integrated in the main text. The existing grid is not adapted for this purpose as it is largely a remnant from the 20th century. Can the grid be transformed into an intelligent and flexible grid that is future proof?This revised edition of Electrical Power System Essentials contains not only an accessible, broad and up-to-date overview of alternating current (AC) power systems, but also end-of-chapter exercises in every chapter, aiding readers in their understanding of the material introduced.With an original approach the book covers the generation of electric energy from thermal power plants as from renewa
