This title evaluates the performance, safety, efficiency, reliability and economics of a power delivery system. It emphasizes the use and interpretation of computational data to assess system operating limits, load level increases, equipment failure and mitigating procedures through computer-aided analysis to maximize cost-effectiveness.
Computer-aided power system analysis features extensive coverage of impedance in transmission lines and underground cables...short-circuit causes and solutions...transient stability considerations...motor starting and voltage drop calculations...road flow problems and solutions...power factor correction...harmonic source and filters...sources and voltage flicker effects due to fluctuating loads...cable ampacity and insulation coordination...grounding grid analysis and improvement of performance...lightning surge effects and risk assessment...electric and magnetic field (EMF) relations...data acquisition systems...and relay protection coordination.
