The development of power semiconductors with greater ratings and improved characteristics has meant that the power industry has become more willing to develop new converter configurations. These new configurations take advantage of the higher controllability and switching frequencies of the new devices. The next few years will decide which of the proposed technologies will dominate future power transmission systems. Flexible Power Transmission is a comprehensive guide to the high voltage direct current (HVDC) options available, helping the reader to make informed decisions for designing future power transmission systems. The book includes: a full description of the principles and components in existing converter technology, as well as alternative proposals for self-commutating conversion; A review of the state of power semiconductors suited to HVDC transmission and present proposals for multi-level HVDC transmission. a detailed overview of the flexible HVDC methods for improving controllability and increasing power transfer capability in electrical power systems. up-to-date information on thyrisistor-based HVDC technology. coverage of new pulse width modulation (PWM) transmission technology and multi-level voltage source conversion (VSC) and current source conversion (CSC). An excellent reference for professional power engineers, Flexible Power Transmission is also a useful guide for power system researchers as well as lecturers and students in power systems and power electronics disciplines.

This Green Book offers the outstanding expertise of CIGRE professionals about Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) in one concise handbook. FACTS are used to enhance AC power networks, by providing fast control of power flows and AC voltage and AC phase angles. They can be used to defer the need for additional power lines, by controlling the power flow on lines to achieve maximum utilisation of the existing lines, and/or by improving the power quality, e.g. when large disturbing loads are connected to the network. This Green Book on FACTS provides comprehensive information about the use of Power Electronics for AC system control and for Power Quality Improvement in its over 1000 pages. This book has been written by experts in the field, who come from Transmission System Operators, Network owners, manufacturers, and consultants in this field. This Green Book on FACTS covers a large range of topics in its 6 sections, as follows: AC Systems Characteristics, AC network control using conventional means and AC network control using FACTS Controllers Technical Descriptions of all current FACTS controllers, power electronic Topologies for FACTS, SVCs, STATCOM, TCSC and the UPFC and its variations Application Examples of all FACTS controllers, which include a description of controllers using saturation of iron as well as examples of all current FACTS controllers Planning and Procurement, including economic appraisals and cost benefit analysis, planning studies, environmental considerations, functional specifications Implementation of FACTS controllers, including integration and design studies, equipment design and testing and commissioning FACTS operation and lifetime management.

This second edition of Design for Mechanical Power Transmission contains more than twice the content of the original monograph. New materials include the addition of a chapter on Flexible Element Drives covering flat and v belt systems, chain link drives and an overview of CVT., more design example applications with solutions in all chapters, material on selecting commercially available transmissions and added case studies of matching power source to load requirements where performance characteristics vary with speed. In addressing the classic engineering problem of matching power source outputs to driven load requirements this revision continues to emphasize: modeling and analyzing the kinematics and operational performance of mechanical transmissions, applying the resulting mathematical relationships to the solution of steady state power transmission design problems and demonstrating how power source outputs and load requirements that vary with speed can be matched to accommodate start up transients. The following list of chapters and subheadings summarize the specific topics covered. Chap. 1 Definitions - force, torque, work, power, torque / power versus powerChap. 2 Gear kinematics - involute properties simple & compound trains, reverted compound trainsChap. 3 Epicyclic gear trains - epicyclic kinematics, compound epicyclic trains, planetary gear trainsChap. 4 Gear train applications - hybrid reduction systems, continuous ratio planetary, engine speed governor, Chap. 5 Fixed ratio transmission - operational performance, restraint requirements, power loss effectsChap. 6 Variable ratio transmissions - fluid couplings, torque convertersChap. 7 Flexible element drives flat and v belt drives, chain drives, CVTsChap. 8 Matching power source to load - performance criteria, speed effects, startup time
