Power System Relaying (eBook)

Power System Relaying

An updated edition of the gold standard in power system relaying texts

In the newly revised fifth edition of Power System Relaying, a distinguished team of engineers delivers a thorough update to an essential text used by countless univer??sities and industry courses around the world. The book explores the fundamentals of relaying and power system phenomena, including stability, protection, and reliability.

The latest edition provides readers with substantial updates to transformer protection, rotating machinery protection, nonpilot distance protection of transmission and distribution lines, power system phenomena, and bus, reactor, and capacitor protection. It also includes an expanded introduction to the elements of protection systems. Problems and solutions round out the new material and offer an indispensable self-contained study environment.

Readers will also find:

• A thorough introduction to protective relaying, including discussions of effective grounding and power system bus configurations
• In-depth explorations of relay operating principles and current and voltage transformers
• Fulsome discussions of nonpilot overcurrent and distance protection of transmission and distribution lines, as well as pilot protection of transmission lines
• Comprehensive treatments of rotating machinery protection and bus, reactor, and capacitor protection

Perfect for undergraduate and graduate students studying power system engineering, Power System Relaying is an ideal resource for practicing engineers involved with power systems and academic researchers studying power system protection.
