Power Quality: Var Compensation in Power Systems provides comprehensive coverage of power quality, harmonics, and static var compensators, illustrated through a wide selection of case studies. Among the various compensators, it considers the recently developed STATCOM, used for transmission systems and single phase traction load compensation, as well as for flicker compensation in arc furnaces. The book presents an in-depth discussion of harmonics, including sources, design, standards, analysis, measurement, monitoring, and filtering. It also addresses single pole autoreclosing and the design...

Introduce the basic concepts of power systems as well as the tools students need to apply these skills to real world situations with POWER SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND DESIGN, 6E. This new edition highlights physical concepts while also giving necessary attention to mathematical techniques. The authors develop both theory and modeling from simple beginnings so students are prepared to readily extend these principles to new and complex situations. Software tools including PowerWorld Simulation, and the latest content throughout this edition aid students with design issues while reflecting the most...
