Synopsis

More than 75 case studies are presented, shedding light on design and relay setting calculations for the protection and control of power system elements.Logically organized, Protection and Control for Power Systems begins with an introduction to power system relaying functions and their implementation. Moving on, it deals with system faults, relay transducers, relay DC tripping circuits, and system grounding. Subsequent chapters discuss protection and control systems for transformers, generators, lines and cables, buses, breakers, distribution systems, phase angle regulating transformers, shunt capacitors and shunt reactors.Drawing on the author’s half century of experience, the text enables engineers and other readers to utilize techniques and calculations in the application of protection and controlfor power system. It documents material published for the first time covering the philosophy of setting ground time over-current protection for transmission lines, supported by actual power system case studies. Additionally, protection of phase angle regulating transformers is covered in detail using real world numerical relaying applications. The book presents power system protection and control details, how they are applied, set and designed for most power system elements. Topics like symmetrical components, fault calculations, relay input devices, relay design and relay setting calculations are fully addressed. It further outlines the basics of protection and control for power system elements utilizing actual system case studies involving the protection system methods. This use of case studies and problems provides insights into protection and control engineering not usually presented in a single text. The emphasis on relay system design application and relay settings calculations are a central theme.Aimed at students, the book is ideal for undergraduate and graduate students seeking to sharpen and enhance their power system protection and control background. It conveys the basic principles of system protection and control and includes more than 90 problems to reinforce these principles. For these reasons, Protection and Control for Power Systems can greatly benefit students and young engineers who require a better understanding of the basics of protection and control engineering. Experienced protection engineers will also find the book beneficial as a solid reference guide.

About this title

About the Author

Mohamed A. Ibrahim is a registered Professional Engineer in New York State, Professor and Fellow of the IEEE in recognition of his extensive contributions to protection and control engineering. Professor Ibrahim has authored and co-authored 25 technical papers on computer relaying applications and protection and control areas. From 1970 to 1980 he was with American Electric Power (AEP) as a Senior Engineer. There he was part of one of the early research teams pioneering micro-computer and microprocessor based protection at the substation level. From 1980 to 2004 he was with the New York Power Authority retiring as the Director of Protection and Control. Since 2004 he has taught protection and control and disturbance analysis courses to power utility engineers throughout the United States, Canada, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Colombia. He has instructed courses at Helwan University and Mansora University in Egypt. He was a visiting lecturer at Auburn University, Washington State University and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. He is an adjunct Professor at NYU Polytechnic School of Engineering, teaching courses at the graduate level. In 2006, he formed MOH Electric, Inc. providing consultant services for protection and control system design, relay setting calculations, system disturbance analyses, training of power utility engineers and expert witness testimony in litigation. In 2011, he authored Disturbance Analysis for Power Systems (Wiley), a first of its kind text that presents fundamental concepts and principles, in context of actual power system events. The book documents the author’s 50+ years of experience in the study of power systems disturbances. The book has since been fully translated to Chinese (China Press) to meet the growing demand of engineers in China seeking greater depth of insight and understanding into analysis of disturbances occurring on their own power system. In 2013, to assist the underserved protection and control engineers in his native country of Egypt and to show his gratitude for the exceptional (and gratis) education he received there, he authored and self-published his second book Power System Protection & Control, offering the book at cost.
