Synopsis

Modern Power System Analysis Turan Gonen The first book on electrical power systems to deal exclusively with the design, structure, and analysis of the transmission system itself. Serves as a self-study guide or as a classroom text and describes, step-by-step, all the tools and procedures needed to analyze today's electrical power systems. It covers power system planning, steady-state performance of transmission lines, disturbance of the normal operating conditions and other problems, as well as symmetrical components and sequence impedances. The book also analyzes balanced and unbalanced faults, land flow, and system protection, detailing criteria for protective systems and several types of relays. 1988 (0 471-85903-6) 560 pp. Least-Cost Electric Utility Planning Harry G. Stoll Presents all the key elements and tools necessary to plan and operate efficient electric utility power systems. Its seven sections address: economics, finance, and regulation; industrial power economics; load demand and management; reliability of the generation system; cost of production in the generation system; capacity planning; and transmission planning. Each section addresses power system theory and principles and applies them to realistic utility examples. Results from solved examples are expanded to illustrate the sensitivity and direction of key parameters. 1989 (0 471-63614-2) 782 pp.

About this title

From the Publisher

Offers concise coverage of methods in probability theory and their application in diverse fields of power system analysis and design. Introduces the relevant probability concepts and develops them in the context of power systems applications. Presents many practical examples and illustrations of probabilistic modeling of real-life problems facing power system engineers.

From the Inside Flap

The applications of probability concepts in power system analysis and design now extend beyond the simple collection of data and statistical analysis of outage frequencies and durations. Yet the burgeoning role of probability theory in the design of transmission structures, power system reliability analysis, probabilistic load flow, and short circuit and stability studies, in addition to numerous other areas, has until now only been treated in technical journals. Here is the first single reference on probability methods and their applications in electric power systems. Written for the practicing engineer or student, Probability Concepts in Electric Power Systems introduces advanced probability concepts and illustrates state-of-the-art uses of probabilistic models in actual situations. Most importantly, it will improve the design, analysis, and planning of reliable, cost-efficient electric power systems. Probability Concepts in Electric Power Systems is logically divided into two parts: The first five chapters present a self-contained introduction to probability concepts and demonstrate how seemingly unrelated applications are linked to each other through unified basic probability concepts. Chapters six through fourteen illustrate several new applications of probability methods in power systems analysis, most of which are presented in book form for the first time. Topics include decisions with multiple objectives, uncertainty in reliability indices, directional considerations for extreme wind climatic events in transmission line design, optimal maintenance interval, and more. Abundantly illustrated and clearly organized, Probability Concepts in Electric Power Systems is the first thoroughly unified guide to a booming field.
