Amazon.com description: Product Description: More than 75 case studies are presented, shedding light on design and relay setting calculations for the protection and control of power system elements. Logically organized, Protection and Control for Power Systems begins with an introduction to power system relaying functions and their implementation. Moving on, it deals with system faults, relay transducers, relay DC tripping circuits, and system grounding. Subsequent chapters discuss protection and control systems for transformers, generators, lines and cables, buses, breakers, distribution systems, phase angle regulating transformers, shunt capacitors and shunt reactors. Drawing on the author’s half century of experience, the text enables engineers and other readers to utilize techniques and calculations in the application of protection and control for power system. It documents material published for the first time covering the philosophy of setting ground time over-current protection for transmission lines, supported by actual power system case studies. Additionally, protection of phase angle regulating transformers is covered in detail using real world numerical relaying applications. The book presents power system protection and control details, how they are applied, set and designed for most power system elements. Topics like symmetrical components, fault calculations, relay input devices, relay design and relay setting calculations are fully addressed. It further outlines the basics of protection and control for power system elements utilizing actual system case studies involving the protection system methods. This use of case studies and problems provides insights into protection and control engineering not usually presented in a single text. The emphasis on relay system design application and relay settings calculations are a central theme. Aimed at students, the book is ideal for undergraduate and graduate students seeking to sharpen and enhance their power system protection and control background. It conveys the basic principles of system protection and control and includes more than 90 problems to reinforce these principles. For these reasons, Protection and Control for Power Systems can greatly benefit students and young engineers who require a better understanding of the basics of protection and control engineering. Experienced protection engineers will also find the book beneficial as a solid reference guide.
