About this title

Synopsis

Though current literature on electricity supply has been dominated by transmission and generation requirements, this book addresses the distribution network system design which accounts for a considerable amount of expenditure worldwide. Outlines good distribution design practice in order to avoid those errors which have occured in the past. Emphasizes theoretical background, network voltage performance, the use of computers and the problems associated with certain loads. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.

About the Author

Erkki Lakervi received his MSc from Helsinki University of Technology in 1969. He worked in systems planning and operations in both rural and municipal Finnish electricity supply utilities, before being appointed associate professor at Tampere University of Technology in 1977. In 1986 he was appointed full professor, specialising in power systems and high-voltage engineering, becoming head of the power engineering group in 1987. Lakervi is a member of the IET, a senior member of the IEEE and a member of CIGRE. He has had two books published in Finland on electricity distribution, as well as many papers in Europe and the USA, particularly associated with computer-aided design. His particular interests are in distribution system design and the behaviour of MV insulators in adverse weather conditions. He is also involved in the design of electricity distribution systems in developing countries.
