Opis

The book focuses on protective relaying, an indispensable part of electrical power systems, and explores cybersecurity and instrument transformers. The text covers smart grids, integration of wind and solar generation, microgrids, and MMPRs (microprocessor-based multifunction relays)—the driving aspects of innovations in protective relaying.

Recenzje

"This book is an excellent compilation of all the various topics of protective relaying. The focus is on protection systems and functions applied in various parts of the power system. The underlying fundamentals of power systems are not included in this book since they are handled in the other volumes of the handbook series. In the book, recent technological developments have been successfully taken into account, and there is even a chapter devoted to modern microprocessor-based multifunction relays. The book is based on the North American system design and standards but provides a vast amount of knowledge to engineers and students of this specific field all over the world."
