Disturbance Analysis for Power Systems (eBook)

MOHAMED A. IBRAHIM, PE, is a registered Professional Engineer in New York State. He is a Fellow of the IEEE for his contributions to the field of protection and control. Dr. Ibrahim has held positions at Helwan University, Mansoura University, and Polytechnic Institue of New York University. He lectured at Auburn University and Washington State University. Dr. Ibrahim retired in 2004 as the director of protection and control at the New York Power Authority to become a consultant, forming his own company. He is the author or coauthor of twenty-five technical papers on computer relaying and protection areas.

Preface.

Chapter 1. Power system disturbance analysis function.

Chapter 2. Phenomena related to system faults and the clearing process of faults from the power system.

Chapter 3. Power system phenomena and their impact on relay system performance.

Chapter 4. Generator case studies elated to system disturbances.

Chapter 5. Transformer case studies related to system disturbances.

Chapter 6. Overhead transmission line case studies related to system disturbances.

Chapter 7. Cable transmission feeder case studies related to system disturbances.

Chapter 8. Breaker failure case studies related to system disturbances.

Chapter 9. Problems.

"The author has published a unique and valuable reference book on
disturbance analysis for power systems and is to be honored for his
life-long dedication and significant contributions to the electric
power community. His book enhances power system engineers to
understand power system phenomena which impact protective relaying
practices. Adequate and safe system operations is the result of
understanding power system disturbances and protection system
response during power system disturbances. I strongly recommend
reading the author book, titled "Disturbance Analysis for
Power Systems" published by Wiley on October, 2011,
documenting his over 40 years of experience in the protection and
control and system disturbance analysis areas."-- Simon R.

"A powerful collection of fault and disturbance signatures. An
excellent way for Mohamed Ibrahim to share his extensive experience
in protection systems performance with both industry experts and
students aspiring to learn about power systems and their behavior
under fault, disturbance and power swing conditions especially at
the generating and transmission levels.

As wisdom comes with age, this Book gets better with every
page."

--Amir Makki, Chairman, Softstuf, Inc.

"Mohamed Ibrahim, in this book, has chosen a concept that I am
not aware of being created by other authors. Rather than simple
repeating the explanations of the technologies of the various power
system components, generators, transformers, overhead transmission
lines, cable transmission lines, and breakers, Mohamed has
developed detailed data associated with faults to these system
components.

This detailed documentation of failures should provide protection
and control engineers with valuable lessons learned. The
experiences gained from the real world investigations and
resolutions of complicated events can be used to formulate actions
plans for other failures.

I recommend this book for the bookshelves of those responsible for
investigation of serious, complicated, equipment faults and
failures."
