Power Distribution System Reliability: Practical Methods and Applications (Hardback) (en Inglés)
Reseña del libro "Power Distribution System Reliability: Practical Methods and Applications (Hardback) (en Inglés)"
A practical, hands-on approach to power distribution systemreliability As power distribution systems age, the frequency and duration ofconsumer interruptions will increase significantly. Now more thanever, it is crucial for students and professionals in theelectrical power industries to have a solid understanding ofdesigning the reliable and cost-effective utility, industrial, andcommercial power distribution systems needed to maintain lifeactivities (e.g., computers, lighting, heating, cooling, etc.).This books fills the void in the literature by providing readerswith everything they need to know to make the best design decisionsfor new and existing power distribution systems, as well as to makequantitative "cost vs. reliability" trade-off studies. Topicalcoverage includes:Engineering economicsReliability analysis of complex network configurationsDesigning reliability into industrial and commercial powersystemsApplication of zone branch reliability methodologyEquipment outage statisticsDeterministic planning criteriaCustomer interruption for cost models for load-point reliabilityassessmentIsolation and restoration proceduresAnd much moreEach chapter begins with an introduction and ends with aconclusion and a list of references for further reading.Additionally, the book contains actual utility and industrial powersystem design problems worked out with real examples, as well asadditional problem sets and their solutions. Power DistributionSystem Reliability is essential reading for practicingengineers, researchers, technicians, and advanced undergraduate andgraduate students in electrical power industries.
