Constant-Voltage Transmission (Classic Reprint): A Discussion of the Use of Synchronous Motors for Eliminating Variation in Voltage in Electric Power Systems - Softcover
Synopsis
Unlock how constant-voltage transmission keeps power steady over long distances, using synchronous motors to control voltage with real savings. This book explains why running motors without mechanical load can hold voltage steady, and how adjusting excitation preserves power quality across the network.
Written for engineers and designers, it covers the practical value of constant-voltage systems in expanding high‑voltage networks, and how this approach can alter line design, cost, and reliability. It also discusses how utility operations can gradually adopt these methods without disrupting current service.
- How synchronous machines regulate voltage at receiving substations to minimize line variation
- Why constant voltage can double a line’s usable power and sometimes reduce the need for new transmission lines
- The role of regulators, load dispatchers, and reactive power in managing a stable system
- Practical considerations for applying constant-voltage concepts to long- and short-distance transmission
Ideal for readers of engineering and power-system design seeking a clear, practical view of early ideas shaping modern electric networks.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book argues that synchronous motors are underutilized in power systems and that their use in constant-voltage transmission can improve transmission efficiency while reducing costs. Historically, electrical engineers sought to reduce energy loss from voltage variation through higher voltages at transmission lines' termini. However, this approach is costly due to the increasingly expensive terminals required. The author shows how synchronous motors can correct for voltage variation, allowing for lower voltage at the transmission line's end, which reduces costs and improves overall efficiency. The book provides a historical context for this method, showing that voltage variation correction via synchronous motors has been attempted in the past. The author contends that only recently have the full benefits of this approach been understood. By demonstrating how to extend the capacity of transmission lines and reduce overall construction costs, this book will appeal to professionals in the field of electrical engineering. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330324202_0
