Power Distribution Automation shows how energy providers can deliver a reliable, good quality power supply to customers, while reducing operational costs by using a Distribution Automation (DA) system.

Essential reading for anyone working in power engineering and distribution automation, this book provides a detailed description of all the major components of a DA system, including communication infrastructure and analysis tools.

Topics covered include:

*communication systems for distribution automation
*load flow analysis; short circuit analysis
*state estimation
*feeder reconfiguration for loss reduction
*service restoration and load balancing
*volt-var control
*fault location
*fault type identification
*economic analysis/cost benefit analysis

The book concludes by showing how DA has been implemented in practice, using a case study from Enexis, one of the major distribution system operators in The Netherlands.
