Cover of Application of Time-Synchronized Measurements in Power System Transmission Networks
This book illuminates how synchrophasors achieve the monitoring, protection and control optimizations necessary to expand existing power systems to support increasing amounts of renewable and distributed energy resources. The authors describe synchrophasor techniques that can provide operators with better resolution in capturing dynamic behavior of the power grid. The resulting insights support improved real-time decision making in the face of more generation and load uncertainty, as well as interruptions caused by random acts of nature and malicious attacks. Armed with the information in this cutting-edge resource, grid planners and operators can make optimized, flexible, resilient power systems a reality.

Cover of Grid Integration and Dynamic Impact of Wind Energy

Grid Integration and Dynamic Impact of Wind Energy details the integration of wind energy resources to the electric grid worldwide. Authors Vijay Vittal and Raja Ayyanar include detailed coverage of the power converters and control used in interfacing electric machines and power converters used in wind generators, and extensive descriptions of power systems operation and control to accommodate large penetration of wind resources.

Key concepts will be illustrated through extensive power electronics and power systems simulations using software like MATLAB, Simulink and PLECS. The book addresses real world problems and solutions in the area of grid integration of wind resources, and will be a valuable resource for engineers and researchers working in renewable energy and power.

Cover of Substation Automation
The objective of the book is to fill a knowledge gap by covering the topic of substation automation by a team of authors, with academic and industry backgrounds. Understanding substation automation concepts and practical solutions requires knowledge in vastly diverse areas, such as primary and secondary equipment, computers, communications, fiber optic sensors, signal processing, and general information technology not generally taught in a power curricula but taught as independent subjects. At the same time, utility practice dictates how substation automation designs may be laid out and deployed. To design such a system one also requires knowledge about existing standards for data exchange, as well as test methods for evaluation of solutions. This book is designed to meet the educational needs of undergraduate and graduate power majors, as well as to serve as a reference to professionals who need to know about substation automation because of fast changing technology expertise needed in their careers. To meet the wide range of interests and needs, the book covers diverse aspects of substation automation, allowing instructors to select the best combination of chapters to meet their specific educational needs.
