Power Systems Modelling And Fault Analysis

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

Power Systems Analysis, Second Edition, describes the operation of the interconnected power system under steady state conditions and under dynamic operating conditions during disturbances. Written at a foundational level, including numerous worked examples of concepts discussed in the text, it provides an understanding of how to keep power flowing through an interconnected grid. The second edition adds more information on power system stability, excitation system, and small disturbance analysis, as well as discussions related to grid integration of renewable power sources. The book is designed to be used as reference, review, or self-study for practitioners and consultants, or for students from related engineering disciplines that need to learn more about power systems. Includes comprehensive coverage of the analysis of power systems, useful as a one-stop resource Features a large number of worked examples and objective questions (with answers) to help apply the material discussed in the book Offers foundational content that provides background and review for the understanding and analysis of more specialized areas of electric power engineering

A unique combination of theoretical knowledge and practical analysis experience Derived from Yoshihide Hases Handbook of Power Systems Engineering, 2nd Edition, this book provides readers with everything they need to know about power system dynamics. Presented in three parts, it covers power system theories, computation theories, and how prevailed engineering platforms can be utilized for various engineering works. It features many illustrations based on ETAP to help explain the knowledge within as much as possible. Recompiling all the chapters from the previous book, Power System Dynamics with Computer Based Modeling and Analysis offers nineteen new and improved content with updated information and all new topics, including two new chapters on circuit analysis which help engineers with non-electrical engineering backgrounds. Topics covered include: Essentials of Electromagnetism; Complex Number Notation (Symbolic Method) and Laplace-transform; Fault Analysis Based on Symmetrical Components; Synchronous Generators; Induction-motor; Transformer; Breaker; Arrester; Overhead-line; Power cable; Steady-State/Transient/Dynamic Stability; Control governor; AVR; Directional Distance Relay and R-X Diagram; Lightning and Switching Surge Phenomena; Insulation Coordination; Harmonics; Power Electronics Applications (Devices, PE-circuit and Control) and more. Combines computer modeling of power systems, including analysis techniques, from an engineering consultants perspective Uses practical analytical software to help teach how to obtain the relevant data, formulate what-if cases, and convert data analysis into meaningful information Includes mathematical details of power system analysis and power system dynamics Power System Dynamics with Computer-Based Modeling and Analysis will appeal to all power system engineers as well as engineering and electrical engineering students.

The book deals with the application of digital computers for power system analysis including fault analysis, load flows, stability assessment, economic operation and power system control. The book also covers extensively modeling of various power system components. The required mathematical background is presented at the appropriate sections in the book. A sincere attempt has been made to include a number of solved examples in every chapter, so that the students get an insight into the problems in practical power systems. Results from simulation are presented wherever applicable. The simulations have been carried out in MATLAB. The book covers more than a semester course. It can be used for UG courses on Power System Analysis, Computer applications in power system analysis, modeling of power system components, power system operation and control. It is also useful to postgraduate students of power engineering.

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 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 expanded and updated second edition is an essential guide to technologies for operating modern flexible power systems. Additional content for this edition includes four new chapters on recent modelling, control and stability analysis of power electronic converters and electric vehicles.

An essential guide to studying symmetrical component theory Provides concise treatment of symmetrical components Describes major sequence models of power system components Discusses Electromagnetic Transient Program (EMTP) models Includes worked examples to illustrate the complexity of calculations, followed by matrix methods of solution which have been adopted for calculations on digital computers
