This handbook offers a comprehensive source for electrical power professionals. It covers all elementary topics related to the design, development, operation and management of power systems, and provides an insight from worldwide key players in the electrical power systems industry. Edited by a renowned leader and expert in Power Systems, the book highlights international professionals’ longstanding experiences and addresses the requirements of practitioners but also of newcomers in this field in finding a solution for their problems. The structure of the book follows the physical structure of the power system from the fundamentals through components and equipment to the overall system. In addition the handbook covers certain horizontal matters, for example "Energy fundamentals", "High voltage engineering", and "High current and contact technology" and thus intends to become the major one-stop reference for all issues related to the electrical power system.

This newly revised and updated reference presents sensible approaches to the design, selection, and usage of high-voltage circuit breakers-highlighting compliance issues concerning new and aging equipment to the evolving standards set forth by the American National Standards Institute and the International Electrotechnical Commission. This edition features the latest advances in mechanical and dielectric design and application from a simplified qualitative perspective. High Voltage Circuit Breakers: Design and Applications features new material on contact resistance, insulating film coatings, and fretting; temperature at the point of contact; short-time heating of copper; erosion and electromagnetic forces on contacts; closing speed and circuit breaker requirements; "weld" break and contact bounce; factors influencing dielectric strength; air, SF6, vacuum, and solid insulation; and dielectric loss and partial discharges, and includes updated chapters on capacitance switching; switching series and shunt reactors; temporary overvoltages; and the benefits of condition monitoring.

Switching in Electrical Transmission and DistributionSystems presents the issues and technological solutionsassociated with switching in power systems, from medium toultra-high voltage. The book systematically discusses the electrical aspects ofswitching, details the way load and fault currents are interrupted,the impact of fault currents, and compares switching equipment inparticular circuit-breakers. The authors also explain all examplesof practical switching phenomena by examining real measurementsfrom switching tests. Other highlights include: up to date commentary on newdevelopments in transmission and distribution technology such asultra-high voltage systems, vacuum switchgear for high-voltage,generator circuit-breakers, distributed generation,DC-interruption, aspects of cable systems, disconnector switching,very fast transients, and circuit-breaker reliability studies. Key features: Summarises the issues and technological solutions associatedwith the switching of currents in transmission anddistribution systems. Introduces and explains recent developments such as vacuumswitchgear for transmission systems, SF6 environmental consequencesand alternatives, and circuit-breaker testing. Provides practical guidance on how to deal with unacceptableswitching transients. Details the worldwide IEC (International ElectrotechnicalCommission) standards on switching equipment, illustrating currentcircuit-breaker applications. Features many figures and tables originating from full-powertests and established training courses, or from measurements inreal networks. Focuses on practical and application issues relevant topracticing engineers. Essential reading for electrical engineers, utility engineers,power system application engineers, consultants and power systemsasset managers, postgraduates and final year power systemundergraduates.
