Power System Transients: Theory and Applications

Power System Transients: Theory and Applications

• Used Book in Good Condition

<P>As a transient phenomenon can shut down a building or an entire city, transient analysis is crucial to managing and designing electrical systems. <B>Power System Transients: Theory and Applications</B> discusses the basic theory of transient phenomena―including lumped- and distributed-parameter circuit theories―and provides a physical interpretation of the phenomena. It covers novel and topical questions of power system transients and associated overvoltages.</P> <P>Using formulas simple enough to be applied using a pocket calculator, the book presents analytical methods for transient analysis. It examines the theory of numerical simulation methods such as the EMTP (circuit-theory based approach) and numerical electromagnetic analysis. The book highlights transients in clean or sustainable energy systems such as smart grids and wind farms, since they require a different approach than overhead lines and cables. Simulation examples provided include arcing horn flashover, a transient in a grounding electrode, and an induced voltage from a lightning channel. </P>
