Electrical Power System Fault Analysis Package

This book presents a nice Graphical User Interface based approach for solving electrical power system fault analysis problems. MATLAB, flagship software for scientific and engineering computation, is used for this purpose. Examples and problems from various widely used textbooks of power system are taken as reference so that results can be compared. This takes into account the fresh students having no idea about the course and can alone be used as a textbook. Help file is also provided with every module of the software keeping in mind that the software can be used as alternative to any textbook. It has been prepared for anyone who has little or no exposure to MATLAB. The programs were written in MATLAB 6 and are made compatible with most releases of MATLAB. The purpose of this book is to develop a fundamental idea about the power system fault analysis among the undergrads so that they can develop their own skills and aptitudes for solving real world power engineering fault analysis problems. Undergraduate students in electrical engineering having background of electrical machines and matrix algebra, who are interested in power system analysis, are encouraged to take a look.

This book provides a comprehensive practical treatment of the modelling of electrical power systems, and the theory and practice of fault analysis of power systems covering detailed and advanced theories as well as modern industry practices. The continuity and quality of electricity delivered safely and economically by today’s and future’s electrical power networks are important for both developed and developing economies. The correct modelling of power system equipment and correct fault analysis of electrical networks are pre-requisite to ensuring safety and they play a critical role in the identification of economic network investments. Environmental and economic factors require engineers to maximise the use of existing assets which in turn require accurate modelling and analysis techniques. The technology described in this book will always be required for the safe and economic design and operation of electrical power systems. The book describes relevant advances in industry such as in the areas of international standards developments, emerging new generation technologies such as wind turbine generators, fault current limiters, multi-phase fault analysis, measurement of equipment parameters, probabilistic short-circuit analysis and electrical interference. *A fully up-to-date guide to the analysis and practical troubleshooting of short-circuit faults in electricity utilities and industrial power systems *Covers generators, transformers, substations, overhead power lines and industrial systems with a focus on best-practice techniques, safety issues, power system planning and economics *North American and British / European standards covered

This textbook introduces electrical engineering students to the most relevant concepts and techniques in three major areas today in power system engineering, namely analysis, security and deregulation. The book carefully integrates theory and practical applications. It emphasizes power flow analysis, details analysis problems in systems with fault conditions, and discusses transient stability problems as well. In addition, students can acquire software development skills in MATLAB and in the usage of state-of-the-art software tools such as Power World Simulator (PWS) and Siemens PSS/E. In any energy management/operations control centre, the knowledge of contingency analysis, state estimation and optimal power flow is of utmost importance. Part 2 of the book provides comprehensive coverage of these topics. The key issues in electricity deregulation and restructuring of power systems such as Transmission Pricing, Available Transfer Capability (ATC), and pricing methods in the context of Indian scenario are discussed in detail in Part 3 of the book. The book is interspersed with problems for a sound understanding of various aspects of power systems. The questions at the end of each chapter are provided to reinforce the knowledge of students as well as prepare them from the examination point of view. The book will be useful to both the undergraduate students of electrical engineering and postgraduate students of power engineering and power management in several courses such as Power System Analysis, Electricity Deregulation, Power System Security, Restructured Power Systems, as well as laboratory courses in Power System Simulation.

Power System Analysis is a comprehensive text designed for an undergraduate course in electrical engineering. Written in a simple and easy-to-understand manner, the book introduces the reader to power system network matrices and power system steady-state stability analysis. The book contains in-depth coverage of symmetrical fault analysis and unbalanced fault analysis; exclusive chapters on power flow studies; a comprehensive chapter on transient stability; precise explanation supported by suitable examples and is replete with objective questions and review questions.

This classic text offers you the key to understanding short circuits, open conductors and other problems relating to electric power systems that are subject to unbalanced conditions. Using the method of symmetrical components, acknowledged expert Paul M. Anderson provides comprehensive guidance for both finding solutions for faulted power systems and maintaining protective system applications. You'll learn to solve advanced problems, while gaining a thorough background in elementary configurations. Features you'll put to immediate use: Numerous examples and problems Clear, concise notation Analytical simplifications Matrix methods applicable to digital computer technology Extensive appendices Diskette files can now be found by entering in ISBN 978-0780311459 on booksupport.wiley.com.

Designed primarily as a textbook for senior undergraduate students pursuing courses in Electrical and Electronics Engineering, this book gives the basic knowledge required for power system planning, operation and control. The contents of the book are presented in simple, precise and systematic manner with lucid explanation so that the readers can easily understand the underlying principles. The book deals with the per phase analysis of balanced three-phase system, per unit values and application including modelling of generator, transformer, transmission line and loads. It explains various methods of solving power flow equations and discusses fault analysis (balanced and unbalanced) using bus impedance matrix. It describes various concepts of power system stability and explains numerical methods such as Euler method, modified Euler method and Runge–Kutta methods to solve Swing equation. Besides, this book includes flow chart for computing symmetrical and unsymmetrical fault current, power flow studies and for solving Swing equation. It is also fortified with a large number of solved numerical problems and short–answer questions with answers at the end of each chapter to reinforce the students understanding of concepts. This textbook would also be useful to the postgraduate students of power systems engineering as a reference.
