Apply economic thinking to electricity distribution and learn how to design systems that save money.
This book introduces the idea of using economic principles in the design of distribution networks. It explains the fundamental concepts, points out common problems, and offers methods to study and solve them. The focus is on applying engineering economics to real transmission and distribution challenges, not just on theory.
What you’ll experience
- A practical framework for evaluating costs and choosing economical designs
- Methods to determine true costs, energy costs, and how loads behave
- Tools for solving problems with general equations and methods for handling losses and voltage drop
- Guidance on applying these methods to transmission lines, secondary circuits, underground lines, and overall system planning
Ideal for engineers, technicians, and students who want concrete, repeatable approaches to economical electrical distribution.
