Of the "big three" components of electrical infrastructure, distribution typically gets the least attention. In fact, a thorough, up-to-date treatment of the subject hasn’t been published in years, yet deregulation and technical changes have increased the need for better information. Filling this void, the Electric Power Distribution Handbook delivers comprehensive, cutting-edge coverage of the electrical aspects of power distribution systems. The first few chapters of this pragmatic guidebook focus on equipment-oriented information and applications such as choosing transformer connections, sizing and placing capacitors, and setting regulators. The middle portion discusses reliability and power quality, while the end tackles lightning protection, grounding, and safety. The Second Edition of this CHOICE Award winner features: 1 new chapter on overhead line performance and 14 fully revised chapters incorporating updates from several EPRI projects New sections on voltage optimization, arc flash, and contact voltage Full-color illustrations throughout, plus fresh bibliographic references, tables, graphs, methods, and statistics Updates on conductor burndown, fault location, reliability programs, tree contacts, automation, and grounding and personnel protection Access to an author-maintained support website, distributionhandbook.com, with problems sets, resources, and online apps An unparalleled source of tips and solutions for improving performance, the Electric Power Distribution Handbook, Second Edition provides power and utility engineers with the technical information and practical tools they need to understand the applied science of distribution.

Power distribution and quality remain the key challenges facing the electric utilities industry. Choosing the right equipment and architecture for a given application means the difference between success and failure. Comprising chapters carefully selected from the best-selling Electric Power Distribution Handbook, Electric Power Distribution Equipment and Systems provides an economical, sharply focused reference on the technologies and infrastructures that enable reliable, efficient distribution of power, from traversing vast distances to local power delivery. The book works inward from broad coverage of overall power systems all the way down to specific equipment application. It begins by laying a foundation in the fundamentals of distribution systems, explaining configurations, substations, loads, and differences between European and US systems. It also includes a look at the development of the field as well as future problems and challenges to overcome. Building on this groundwork, the author elaborates on both overhead and underground distribution networks, including the underlying concepts and practical issues associated with each. Probing deeper into the system, individual chapters explore transformers, voltage regulation, and capacitor application in detail, from basic principles to operational considerations. With clear explanations and detailed information, Electric Power Distribution Equipment and Systems gathers critical concepts, technologies, and applications into a single source that is ideally suited for immediate implementation.

This book provides practical applications of numerical relays for protection and control of various primary equipment namely distribution and transmission networks , HV and EHV transformers and busbars, reactive and active power plants. Unlike other books attempts have been made to address the subject from practical point of view rather than theoretical one which can otherwise be found in most of other text books. The setting, design and testing philosophy of numerical relays as discussed in this book have been successfully applied in the fields on various projects and consequently can be used as a practical guideline for implementation on future projects. The book covers the followings subjects: · Fundamental concepts in the field of power system protection and control; · Required system modelling and fault level analysis for the design and setting of protection and control devices; · Setting and design philosophy of numerical relays of different primary equipment; · Practical application of anti-Islanding schemes for two different systems namely distribution generation (DG) and transmission generation (TG); · Challenges and solutions which are encountered during secondary equipment refurbishment/replacement in brown field substations with inclusion of two practical case studies; · Required tests for factory acceptance tests (FAT), site acceptance tests (SAT), and commissioning tests of numerical relays in conventional and digital substations; · Causes, analysis and proposed mitigation techniques of more than 100 worldwide disturbances which have occurred in different type of primary equipment which have resulted to major system black out or plant explosion or even fatality and; · New and future trend of application of numerical relays including application of super IED for protection and control of multi-primary equipment, implementation of digital substation ,remote integrations ,self and remote testing of IED , distribution networks fault location techniques and fault locators using travelling waves, synchro phasors, time domain line protection using travelling waves, adaptive slope characteristics of differential protection, protection and control schemes of micro grids, mitigation technique for prevention of loss of reactive power plants and transformers due to solar storms.
