High Voltage Direct Current Transmission By Jos Arrillaga


Since the first edition of this book in 1983, HVDC technology has continued to develop and few power systems can now escape its influence. Fully revised, updated and expanded, this second edition builds on its predecessor's coverage of HVDC systems and describes the variety of reasons justifying the use of DC transmission as well as the basic concepts and techniques involved in the AC-DC and DC-AC conversion processes. Updates include the main technical advances of the past 15 years, such as improvements in the ratings and reliability of thyristor valves and other semiconductor devices, more controllable solid state devices, cost reduction techniques and discussion of the widening applications of DC that continue to make HVDC a competitive technology.


Power Electronics By Dr.P.S.Bimbhra Ebook


The book begins with the study of salient features of power diodes, power transistors, MOS- controlled thyristors and also other related topics. Each chapter begins at an introductory level and is so developed progressively that an average student can comprehend the subject matter easily. The topics covered in this volume include diode circuits and rectifiers, phase-controlled rectifiers, inverters, a.c. voltage controllers, etc. A large number of illustrative figures and a wide variety of worked examples add to the clarity of presentation.

The electrical power system is a highly complex dynamic entity. One malfunction or a careless set relay can jeopardize the entire grid. Power system protection as a subject offers all the elements of intrigue, drama, and suspense while handling fault conditions in real life

Power System Dynamics: Stability and Control by Jan Machowski


This book is the fully revised and updated second edition of Power System Dynamics and Stability published in 1997. The modified title Power System Dynamics: Stability and Control reflects a slight shift in focus from solely describing power system dynamics to the means of dealing with them. The book has been expanded by about a third to include:
  • a new chapter on wind power generation;
  • a new section on wide-area measurement systems (WAMS) and their application for real-time control;
  • an overview of lessons learned from wide-spread blackouts affecting North America and Europe in 2003, 2004 and 2006;
  • enhanced treatment of voltage stability and control, and frequency stability and control;
  • application of Lyapunov direct method to analyse and enhance stability of multi-machine power systems ;
  • expanded coverage of steady-state stability using eigenvalue analysis, including modal analysis of dynamic equivalents.
The book continues the successful approach of the first edition by progressing from simplicity to complexity. It places the emphasis first on understanding the underlying physical principles before proceeding to more complex models and algorithms. The reader will appreciate the authors’ accessible approach as the book is illustrated by over 400 diagrams and a large number of examples.
Power System Dynamics: Stability and Control, Second Edition is an essential resource for graduates of electrical engineering. It is also a clear and comprehensive reference text for undergraduate students, and for practising engineers and researchers who are working in electricity companies or in the development of power system technologies.
