Description

This edition provides a systematic presentation of the main concepts referring to the electrical systems planning and operation, with the particularly interesting inclusion of many practical data, frequent reference to the IEC standards, and a detached view on the main approaches used in practice. The selection of the material makes it possible for the operator to retrieve in the book both concepts and indications on the applications, without needing to take a look at many manufacturer?s data or huge handbooks. Describing in detail how electrical power systems are planned and designed, this book illustrates the required structures of systems, substations and equipment using international standards and latest computer methods. This book discusses both 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.
