Books in the Power Systems Handbook series

This book covers short-circuit currents, current interruption theories, circuit breaker types, calculations according to ANSI/IEEE and IEC standards, and the rating structure of switching devices. It explains the nature of short-circuit currents, the symmetrical components for unsymmetrical faults, and matrix methods of solutions.

This book discusses the major aspects of load flow and culminates in modern heuristic optimization techniques and evolutionary programming. In the deregulated environment, the economic provision of electrical power to consumers requires knowledge of how to maintain a certain power quality and load flow; this knowledge is provided in the text.

The book provides coverage of generation, effects, and control of harmonics, including interharmonics, measurements, and harmonic resonance and limitations. It explores the concepts of modeling filter designs and harmonic penetrations (propagations) in industrial, distribution, and transmission systems with SVC's and FACTS controller applications.

The book focuses on protective relaying, an indispensable part of electrical power systems, and explores cybersecurity and instrument transformers. The text covers smart grids, integration of wind and solar generation, microgrids, and MMPRs (microprocessor-based multifunction relays)-the driving aspects of innovations in protective relaying.
