This is a comprehensive up-to-date text covering all aspects of the subject. It starts from fundamental concepts, such as the constants of overhead transmission lines and the performance of transmission lines, and proceeds to discuss the design of transmission lines both electrical and mechanical. To appreciate the problem in the design of power systems as well as switchgear. Emphasis has been given to problems involved in the design of EHVAC and HVDC transmission and power systems. Power system control and methods of line compensation are also discussed. The latter part of the book deals with the design of distribution systems including their economics. The contemporary problem of system improvements has also been covered in detail. Emphasis is laid on the latest technique throughout the book. Key features The contemporary problem of system improvements has also been covered in detail. This book would be highly useful for courses on power systems, particularly design and project and to those preparing for professional examinations in the areas of power systems and power engineering. It will also be a concise reference for power supply organisations, electricity undertaking the power engineers.
