A set of four volumes compiled by leading authorities in the electricity supply industry and manufacturing companies to provide a comprehensive treatment of power system protection.Also available:Power System Protection 2: Systems and methods - ISBN 9780852968369Power System Protection 3: Application - ISBN 9780852968376The Institution of Engineering and Technology is one of the world's leading professional societies for the engineering and technology community. The IET publishes more than 100 new titles every year; a rich mix of books, journals and magazines with a back catalogue of more than 350 books in 18 different subject areas including: -Power & Energy -Renewable Energy -Radar, Sonar & Navigation -Electromagnetics -Electrical Measurement -History of Technology -Technology Management The worldwide growth in demand for electricity has forced the pace of developments in electrical power system design to meet consumer needs for reliable, secure and cheap supplies. Power system protection, as a technology essential to high quality supply, is widely recognised as a specialism of growing and often critical importance, in which power system needs and technological progress have combined to result in rapid developments in policy and practice in recent years. In the United Kingdom, the need for appropriate training in power system protection was recognised in the early 1960s with the launch of a correspondence course from which these books emerged and have since developed designed to meet the needs of protection staff throughout the world. The Electricity Training Association, in response to the important recent developments in the field of protection, have now commissioned an additional volume covering digital technology. The existing three volumes, of which this is the second, have been reviewed by leading authorities within the electricity supply industry and electrical manufacturing companies in the UK and, with the new fourth volume, the new edition gives a comprehensive and up-to-date treatment of the subject, covering theory, analytical and design principles, equipment design and application and protection management. Part of a series that summarizes the concepts, practices and equipment used in the field of power system protection, this volume explores recent advances in digital technology, digital signal processing, communications, numeric protection and co-ordinated control systems. This book gives a comprehensive and up-to-date treatment of power system protection, covering theory, analytical and design principles, equipment design and application and protection management. v. 1. Principles and components v. 2. Systems and methods v. 3. Application v. 4. Digital protection and signalling.
