Power Swing Detection and Generator Out-of-Step Protection Under Renewable Power Source Integration (Energy Systems in Electrical Engineering) [Hardcover] [Mar 26, 2023] Desai, Jignesh Kumar P. and Makwana, Vijay

This monograph focuses on the modern power system and its reliable operation on a national scale. The contents focus on the analysis and root cause of different power system blackouts, the introduction of a phasor measurement unit incorporating a polygon-shaped graphical algorithm for out-of-step protection of the synchronous generator, predictive out-of-step protection, dual-slope relay setting, novel apparent stability concept, among others. This volume will be beneficial to academia and industry during the testing, development, and modeling of protective relays for generators, transformers, and transmission lines.

Dr. Jigneshkumar P. Desai received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Gujarat Technological University, India, in 2022. He is working as an Assistant Professor in the Electrical Department at the U.V. Patel College of Engineering at Ganpat University, India. He has 10 years of experience as an Assistant Professor. He worked in the industry for one year and six months. He has so far had six research articles published in peer-reviewed journals that are indexed by SCI/Scopus. More than four research publications were presented and published at international IEEE conferences. He is invited to be a reviewer for the IEEE Transaction on Power Systems. He has published two books and two book chapters with an international publisher. He has filed and published one patent and one design with the Indian Patent Office (IPO). Power system protection and AI for power system protection are some of his research interests.
