This new edition covers a wide area from transients in power systems—including the basic theory, analytical calculations, EMTP simulations, computations by numerical electromagnetic analysis methods, and field test results—to electromagnetic disturbances in the field on EMC and control engineering. Not only does it show how a transient on a single-phase line can be explained from a physical viewpoint, but it then explains how it can be solved analytically by an electric circuit theory. Approximate formulas, which can be calculated by a pocket calculator, are presented so that a transient can be analytically evaluated by a simple hand calculation. Since a real power line is three-phase, this book includes a theory that deals with a multi-phase line for practical application. In addition, methods for tackling a real transient in a power system are introduced. This new edition contains three completely revised and updated chapters, as well as two new chapters on grounding and numerical methods.

As a transient phenomenon can shut down a building or an entire city, transient analysis is crucial to managing and designing electrical systems. Power System Transients: Theory and Applications discusses the basic theory of transient phenomena-including lumped- and distributed-parameter circuit theories-and provides a physical interpretation of th

For college students and practicing engineers.

The transient analysis of electrical networks has become very important for both HVAC and HVDC systems, due to significant changes introduced through the connection of renewable energy sources. Numerical Analysis of Power System Transients and Dynamics describes the three major power system transient and dynamics simulation tools based on a circuit-theory based approach which are most widely used all over the world (EMTP-ATP, EMTP-RV and EMTDC/PSCAD), together with another powerful simulation tool called numerical electromagnetic analysis method. This book is ideal for researchers involved in the analysis of power systems for development and optimization, and will also be of interest to professionals and Ph. D. students working with power systems.

This book focuses on protective relaying, which is an indispensable part of electrical power systems. The recent advancements in protective relaying are being dictated by MMPRs (microprocessor-based multifunction relays). The text covers smart grids, integration of wind and solar generation, microgrids, and MMPRs as the driving aspects of innovations in protective relaying. Topics such as cybersecurity and instrument transformers are also explored. Many case studies and practical examples are included to emphasize real-world applications.
