Electrical Power Systems

This book provides a clear, systematic and exhaustive exposition of the various dimensions of electrical power systems. Both basic and advanced topics have been thoroughly explained and illustrated through solved examples. Salient Features: Fundamentals of power systems, line constant calculations and performance of overhead lines discussed. Mechanical design of lines, HVDC lines, Corona, Insulators and Insulated cables explained. Voltage control, Neutral grounding and Transients in power systems explained. Fault calculation, Protective relays including Digital relays and Circuit breakers discussed in that order. Power systems synchronous stability and Voltage stability explained. Insulation coordination and overvoltage protection explained. Zbus formulation, Power transformers and Synchronous machines as power system elements highlighted. State Estimation of Power System under steady state conditions exhaustively covered.
