This book devoted to the electrical substation design and analysis and subjected to represent the maintenance of all types of electrical equipments. In this book the maintenance schedule for the associated equipments to the substation installation, commissioning and testing are highlighted with brief explanation. This book covers all vital equipments serving the substation for power demands by both domestic and industrial applications. In this book, making or preparing maintenance schedule of dc machines, induction machines, synchronous machines, transformer, transmission line, distribution lines, underground cables, circuit breakers, switchgear, protective relays, sf-6 circuit breakers, batteries in substation are presented with considering the electricity rules and regulations provide by the government. This book will be very helpful for the students of under graduated and post graduate studies in technical and skill development institutions. Various technical books, technical firms, research papers, technical manuals, notes of various educational firms and books associated to the title considered to enhance the quality of the literature for better understandings. Electrical equipment must be serviced and tested on a regular basis in order to get the most out of it, maintain its dependability, and reduce maintenance costs. Electrical equipment maintenance and overall safety are receiving more and more attention. Many communities are enacting regulations and codes requiring periodic inspection and testing of large electrical facilities within their jurisdictions; the federal government has passed laws requiring substation maintenance; and insurance companies are basing premiums on the quality of a facility's maintenance program and equipment condition.

This book was created for relay test technicians and provides the knowledge and skills necessary to test most of the modern protective relays installed over a wide variety of industries. Basic electrical fundamentals, detailed descriptions of protective elements, and generic test plans are combined with examples from real life applications to increase your confidence in any relay testing situation. A wide variety of relay manufacturers and models are used in the examples to help you realize that once you conquer the sometimes confusing and frustrating man-machine interfaces created by the different manufacturers, all digital relays use the same basic fundamentals and most relays can be tested by applying these fundamentals.By the end of this book, you will have the information you need to: Evaluate relay applications Review, understand, and compare the relay settings to the application Create a test plan Test the most commonly applied elements:Instantaneous Overcurrent (50)Inverse Time Overcurrent (50)Directional Overcurrent (67)Undervoltage (27)Overvoltage (59)Over/Under Frequency (81)Differential (87) (With three of six current channels)Line Distance (21) Evaluate the test results Provide comprehensive test results and documentationEach chapter is a self contained unit and the chapters are organized in a logical progression of knowledge to allow readers from different skill sets to focus on or skip to the sections they need without wasting time reading through information they already know. We also provide packages for technicians who are looking for specific information only. These packages can be downloaded in pdf format for easy viewing and printing as they become available.

Power outages have considerable social and economic impacts, and effective protection schemes are crucial to avoiding them. While most textbooks focus on the transmission and distribution aspects of protective relays, Protective Relaying for Power Generation Systems is the first to focus on protection of motors and generators from a power generation perspective. It also includes workbook constructions that allow students to perform protection-related calculations in Mathcad® and Excel®. This text provides both a general overview and in-depth discussion of each topic, making it easy to tailor the material to students' needs. It also covers topics not found in other texts on the subject, including detailed time decrement generator fault calculations and minimum excitation limit. The author clearly explains the potential for damage and damaging mechanisms related to each protection function and includes thorough derivations of complex system interactions. Such derivations underlie the various rule-of-thumb setting criteria, provide insight into why the rules-of-thumb work and when they are not appropriate, and are useful for post-incident analysis. The book's flexible approach combines theoretical discussions with example settings that offer quick how-to information. Protective Relaying for Power Generation Systems integrates fundamental knowledge with practical tools to ensure students have a thorough understanding of protection schemes and issues that arise during or after abnormal operation.

Offshore Electrical Engineering Manual, Second Edition, is for electrical engineers working on offshore projects who require detailed knowledge of an array of equipment and power distribution systems. The book begins with coverage of different types of insulation, hot-spot temperatures, temperature rise, ambient air temperatures, basis of machine ratings, method of measurement of temperature rise by resistance, measurement of ambient air temperature. This is followed by coverage of AC generators, automatic voltage regulators, AC switchgear transformers, and programmable electronic systems. The emphasis throughout is on practical, ready-to-apply techniques that yield immediate and cost-effective benefits. The majority of the systems covered in the book operate at a nominal voltage of 24 y dc and, although it is not necessary for each of the systems to have separate battery and battery charger systems, the grouping criteria require more detailed discussion. The book also provides information on equipment such as dual chargers and batteries for certain vital systems, switchgear tripping/closing, and engine start batteries which are dedicated to the equipment they supply. In the case of engines which drive fire pumps, duplicate charges and batteries are also required. Packed with charts, tables, and diagrams, this work is intended to be of interest to both technical readers and to general readers. It covers electrical engineering in offshore situations, with much of the information gained in the North Sea. Some topics covered are offshore power requirements, generator selection, process drivers and starting requirements, control and monitoring systems, and cabling and equipment installation - Discusses how to perform inspections of electrical and instrument systems on equipment using appropriate regulations and specifications - Explains how to ensure electrical systems/components are maintained and production is uninterrupted - Demonstrates how to repair, modify, and install electrical instruments ensuring compliance with current regulations and specifications - Covers specification, management, and technical evaluation of offshore electrical system design - Features evaluation and optimization of electrical system options including DC/AC selection and offshore cabling designs
