This book provides a comprehensive treatment of electric distribution systems. Few books cover specific topics in more depth and there is hardly any book that deals with the key topics of interest to distribution system engineers. The book introduces these topics from two points of view: 1) The practical point of view by providing practical examples and the problems which can be solved. 2) The academic point of view where the analysis and various techniques used for distribution system planning are explained. The most outstanding feature of this book is a combination of practical and academic explanation of its contents. Another outstanding feature is a collection of the traditional and current topics of distribution systems condensed into one book. The reader will gain an understanding of distribution systems from both practical and academic aspects, will be able to outline and design a distribution system for specific loads, cities, zones, etc.. Readers will also be able to recognize the problems which may occur during the operation of distribution systems and be able to propose solutions for these problems.

As well as dealing with the planning and design of modern distribution systems, as opposed to more general aspects of transmission and generation, this second edition of Electricity Distribution Network Design (1989) updates its treatment of computer-based planning and reliability. It also covers the implications of international standards, network information systems and distribution automation.

This book includes my lecture notes for electrical power distribution book. The fundamentals of electrical power distribution are applied to various distribution system layouts and the function of common distribution system substations and equipment. The book introduces the design procedures and protection methods for power distribution systems of consumer installations. Circuit simulation and practical laboratories are utilised to reinforce concepts. The book is divided to different learning outcomes • CLO 1- Discuss the fundamental concepts related to electrical distribution systems. • CLO 2- Explain the role of distribution substations and related equipment. • CLO 3- Outline standard methods for power distribution to consumer installations. • CLO 4- Apply short-circuit and over-load protection principles for electrical installations a) CLO1- Discuss the fundamental concepts related to electrical distribution systems. • Principle of operation of transformers. • Explain the role of the distribution system in a power system, common distribution system layouts, and common voltages, voltage drops and regulation levels from transmission to distribution. • Discuss demand, power quality issues, calculate factors affecting design, and interpret the load curve profile for load demand. • Explain how tariff is calculated and charged consumers b) CLO2- Explain the role of distribution substations and related equipment. • Explain the function of the distribution substation in view of distribution system layout • Explain the use of transmission, grid, primary and distribution substations a power system. • Explain the use of various types of bus-bar configurations in distribution substations. • Discuss the use of cabling, transformers, circuit breakers, switches, reclosers, and sectionalisers in a distribution system. c) CLO3- Outline standard methods for power distribution to consumer installations. • Discuss commonly used methods for low voltage power supply systems (TN, TN-C, TN-C-S and TT). • Discuss the main features of a one-line, electrical installation diagram and related symbols. • Discuss electrical color codes and factors affecting cable installations. • Design an electrical feeder by (1) selecting the design current, (2) selecting the overload current protection, (3) determining the applicable correction factors, (4) selecting the current-carrying capacity of cable and cable sizing, and (5) calculating the allowable voltage drop in feeder d) CLO4- Apply short-circuit and over-load protection principles for electrical installations. • Explain the meaning of overload and over-current and methods of protection • Discuss the nature of electric shock, need for earthing, earth loop impedance, and principle of protective multiple earthing. • Explain the principles of fuse/MCB selection in relation to feeder protection under overload and short circuit fault conditions. • Explain the operation of earth leakage circuit breakers (ELCB) and residual current device (RCD).
