Synopsis

Equipment for computer relaying is now beginning to be installed on power systems throughout the world. Such relays, in addition to providing protection for power apparatus and systems, add a new capability to the protective equipment of the substation: the ability to communicate with the other local and remote computer systems. Through this ability, many novel ideas can be realised, such as the newly initiated field of adaptive relaying. The authors have worked in the area for 20 years and have originated many new ideas that have led to successful field applications.

About this title

From the Publisher

This text/reference presents a comprehensive, up-to-date account of computer relaying in power systems, based in part on the authors' extensive experience in the field. Provides background material on current relaying practices, and covers the mathematical foundations for relaying algorithms. Each chapter contains helpful illustrations, examples, and problems.

From the Back Cover

Since publication of the first edition of Computer Relaying for Power Systems in 1988, computer relays have been widely accepted by power engineers throughout the world and in many countries they are now the protective devices of choice.

The authors have updated this new edition with the latest developments in technology and applications such as adaptive relaying, wide area measurements, signal processing, new GPS-based measurement techniques and the application of artificial intelligence to digital relays. New material also includes sigma-delta and oversampling A/D converters, self-polarizing and cross-polarizing in transmission lines protection and optical current and voltage transformers.

Phadke and Thorp have been working together in power systems engineering for more than 30 years. Their impressive work in the field has been recognized by numerous awards, including the prestigious 2008 Benjamin Franklin Medal in Electrical Engineering for their pioneering contributions to the development and application of microprocessor controllers in electric power systems.
