The development of power semiconductors with greater ratings and improved characteristics has meant that the power industry has become more willing to develop new converter configurations. These new configurations take advantage of the higher controllability and switching frequencies of the new devices. The next few years will decide which of the proposed technologies will dominate future power transmission systems.
Flexible Power Transmission is a comprehensive guide to the high voltage direct current (HVDC) options available, helping the reader to make informed decisions for...

The material covered in this second edition follows a similar pattern to the original publication but contains at least 50 per cent completely new material. In particular, the latter reflects the impact of advanced power electronic technology on instrumentation, simulation, standards and active harmonic elimination techniques.

In this book the authors describe the main computer modelling techniques that, having gained universal acceptance, constitute the basic framework of modern power system analysis. Some basic knowledge of power system theory, matrix analysis and numerical techniques is presumed, although several appendices and many references have been included to help the uninitiated to pick up the relevant background.

Quality of power supply is now a major issue worldwide making harmonic analysis an essential element in power system planning and design. Power System Harmonic Analysis presents novel analytical and modelling tools for the assessment of components and systems, and their interactions at harmonic frequencies. The recent proliferation of power electronic equipment is a significant source of harmonic distortion and the authors present effective techniques to tackle this real engineering problem. Features include: * Introduction to the main harmonic modelling philosophies * Analysis of the...

For very high voltage or very high current applications, the power industry still relies on thyristor-based Line Commutated Conversion (LCC), which limits the power controllability to two quadrant operation. However, the ratings of self-commutating switches such as the Insulated-Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) and Integrated Gate-Commutated Thyristor (IGCT), are reaching levels that make the technology possible for very high power applications.
This unique book reviews the present state and future prospects of self-commutating static power converters for applications requiring...
