Protection of Modern Power Systems

Familiarize yourself with the cutting edge of power system protection technology

All electrical systems are vulnerable to faults, whether produced by damaged equipment or the cumulative breakdown of insulation. Protection from these faults is therefore an essential part of electrical engineering, and the various forms of protection that have developed constitute a central component of any course of study related to power systems. Particularly in recent decades, however, the demands of decarbonization and reduced dependency on fossil fuels have driven innovation in the field of power systems. With new systems and paradigms come new kinds of faults and new protection needs, which promise to place power systems protection once again at the forefront of research and development.

Protection of Modern Power Systems offers the first classroom-ready textbook to fully incorporate developments in renewable energy and 'smart' power systems into its overview of the field. It begins with a comprehensive guide to the principles of power system protection, before surveying the systems and equipment used in modern protection schemes, and finally discussing new and emerging protection paradigms. It promises to become the standard text in power system protection classrooms.

Protection of Modern Power Systems readers will also find:

  • Treatment of the new faults and protection paradigms produced by the introduction of new renewable generators
  • Discussion of SmartGrids--intelligently-controlled active systems designed to integrate renewable energy into the power system--and their protection needs
  • Detailed exploration of Synchronized Measurement Technology and Intelligent Electronic Devices
  • Accompanying website to include Solutions Manual for instructors

Protection of Modern Power Systems is an essential resource for students, researchers, and system engineers looking for a working knowledge of this critical subject.
