Electric Power Distribution System Engineering, Second Edition

Electric Power Distribution System Engineering is written for senior-level undergraduate students or beginning-level graduate students, and for practicing engineers who may want to teach themselves.Contents include: Distribution system planningDistribution system automationLoad characteristicsDesign of subtransmission linesDesign considerations of primary systemsDesign considerations of secondary systemsSubstation designVoltage drop, power lossDistribution transformers Applications of capacitorsVoltage regulationSystem protectionReliability Power qualityThis book does not shy away from using math to explain the relationships in distribution systems. There are numerous worked examples of typical problems which the student can apply to his/her specific situation.The appendices at the end of the book are packed with practical data, and these tables alone are worth the price of the book. Impedance tables for overhead lines, underground cables, transformers.Graphic symbols used in engineering drawings.Glossary of technical terms.The per-unit system -- single-phase and three-phase.Notation -- English letters and symbols used in engineering calculations.
