Electric Power Systems have become much more complex in the past years, due to the integration of distributed generation including renewable energy sources and the challenges caused by intermittency of renewables.
These techniques can be applied to Protection of generator transformers, lines, switchgear and cable circuits: the main components of transmission and distribution Systems with and without integrated distributed energy sources including renewables..
The treatment is logically structured, covering mathematics and principles for the development and implementation of the major algorithms underlying different Protection techniques.
The book is written for researchers in electrical engineering and Power engineering, in industry, utilities and universities, and for advanced students.
Chapters treat the mathematical background of Protection algorithms including, sinusoidal-wave-based algorithms, Walsh function and S-Transform-based techniques, least squares and differential equation-based techniques, travelling wave-based protection, Protection of transformers, Digital line differential protection, a comparison between Digital Protection algorithms, and importantly, Protection of networks with distributed generation including renewable energy resources.
The new edition offers a thorough revision and update, and comprehensive additional material.
This second edition of the book covers a comprehensive introduction to the Protection of electrical Power Systems using Digital protective relays.
However, use of computer-based Protection methods (i.e., Digital Protection relays) supported by communication technology have helped in protecting electrical networks from faults to which they are subjected to.
This complexity makes Power Systems potentially more vulnerable.
