Power System Relaying (Electronic & Electrical Engineering Research Studies Lines and Cables for Power Transmission, No 7) - Hardcover
Synopsis
In this second edition of their book the authors have extensively revised, updated and added to the material of the first edition. Extracts from their new Preface summarise these changes:
The first edition, published in 1992, has been used as a text book by universities and in industry courses throughout the world. It has been widely used as a reference book for practising protection engineers. As a result of the dialogue between the authors and the teachers, students and engineers using the first edition, it was decided to issue a second edition, incorporating material that would be of considerable value. The theory and fundamentals of relaying continue to constitute the major part of the book. In addition, the second edition includes concepts and practices that add another dimension to the study of power system protection.
A chapter has been added covering the monitoring of power system performance and fault analysis. It explains the use of oscillographic records for analysis and correction of disturbances, and for maintenance; and the application of synchronized sampling for fault recorders and other measuring systems using advanced timing technologies such as the GPS Satellite. The chapter on the protection of rotating machinery contains a new section covering power plant auxiliary systems. Distribution protection concepts have been expanded to bridge the gap between the protection of distribution and transmission systems. An account of the emerging technology of Static VAR Compensators to provide inductive and capacitive elements to regulate system voltage has been added to the chapter on bus protection. Finally, the Subject Index has been significantly revised to facilitate reference from both the equipment and the operating standpoints.

Review
'The emphasis...is on giving the student an understanding of power protection principles and to gain insight into the phenomena involved'.
From the Back Cover
The previous two editions of Power System Relaying offer comprehensive and accessible coverage of the theory and fundamentals of relaying and have been widely adopted on university and industry courses worldwide. With the third edition, the authors have added new and detailed descriptions of power system phenomena such as stability, system–wide protection concepts and discussion of historic outages. Power System Relaying , 3rd Edition continues its role as an outstanding textbook on power system protection for senior and graduate students in the field of electric power engineering and a reference book for practising relay engineers, and publishes in tandem with Arun Phadke being awarded the Benjamin Franklin Medal from the Franklin Institute in honor of his work in the field of electrical engineering. Provides the student with an understanding of power system protection principles and an insight into the phenomena involved. Discusses in detail the emerging technologies of adaptive relaying, hidden failures, wide area measurement, global positioning satellites and the specific application of digital devices. Includes relay designs such as electromechanical, solid–state and digital relays to illustrate the advantages and disadvantages of each. Re–examines traditional equipment protection practices to include new concepts such as transmission line differential protection, load encroachment on distance relay characteristics, distributed generation systems, and techniques to improve protection system response to power system events. Analyzes system performance through oscillographs and alarms schemes. Features problems to be worked through at the end of each chapter.
