This detailed and comprehensive reference presents the latest developments in power system insulation coordination-emphasizing the achievement of optimum insulation strength at minimum cost. Comprehensively covering a myriad of insulation coordination techniques, the book examines electrical transmission and distribution lines and substations. Supplemented with end-of-chapter problem sets and over 1700 literature citations, tables, drawings, and equations, the book focuses on the conventional (or deterministic) method of insulation coordination, as well as the probabilistic method with its...

Suitable for a graduate course in the theory of distributions and related topics, for students of applied mathematics or theoretical physics, this book introduces the theory, explicates mathematical structures and the Hilbert-space aspects, and presents applications to typical boundary problems.
