The use of electric power substations in generation,
transmission, and distribution remains one of the most challenging
and exciting areas of electric power engineering. Recent
technological developments have had a tremendous impact on all
aspects of substation design and operation. With 80% of its
chapters completely revised and two brand-new chapters on energy
storage and Smart Grids, Electric Power Substations Engineering,
Third Edition provides an extensive updated overview of
substations, serving as a reference and guide for both industry and
academia. Contributors have written each chapter with detailed
design information for electric power engineering professionals and
other engineering professionals (e.g., mechanical, civil) who want
an overview or specific information on this challenging and
important area.
This book:
- Emphasizes the practical application of the technology
- Includes extensive use of graphics and photographs to visually
convey the book s concepts
- Provides applicable IEEE industry standards in each
chapter
- Is written by industry experts who have an average of 25 to 30
years of industry experience
- Presents a new chapter addressing the key role of the
substation in Smart Grids
Editor John McDonald and this very impressive group of
contributors cover all aspects of substations, from the initial
concept through design, automation, and operation. The book s
chapters which delve into physical and cyber-security,
commissioning, and energy storage are written as tutorials and
provide references for further reading and study.
As with the other volumes in the Electric Power Engineering
Handbook series, this book supplies a high level of detail and,
more importantly, a tutorial style of writing and use of
photographs and graphics to help the reader understand the
material. Several chapter authors are members of the IEEE Power
& Energy Society (PES) Substations Committee and are the actual
experts who are developing the standards that govern all aspects of
substations. As a result, this book contains the most recent
technological developments in industry practice and standards.
