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. From the Back Cover Electrical power supply is about to change; future generation will increasingly take place in and near
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. This unique approach distinguishes it from other text books on Electrical Power Systems and makes the resource highly accessible for undergraduate students and readers without a technical background directly related to power engineering.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 hydro powerpower system protection and circuit breakerspower system control and operationthe organization of electricity markets and the changes currently taking placesystem blackoutsfuture developments in power systems, HVDC connections and smart gridsThe book is supplemented by a companion website from which teaching materials can be downloaded.. 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. 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, bu
