The previous two editions of Power System Relaying offercomprehensive and accessible coverage of the theory andfundamentals of relaying and have been widely adopted on universityand industry courses worldwide. With the third edition, the authorshave added new and detailed descriptions of power system phenomenasuch as stability, system-wide protection concepts and discussionof historic outages. Power System Relaying, 3rd Editioncontinues its role as an outstanding textbook on power systemprotection for senior and graduate students in the field ofelectric power engineering and a reference book for practisingrelay engineers.
* Provides the student with an understanding of power systemprotection principles and an insight into the phenomenainvolved.
* Discusses in detail the emerging technologies of adaptiverelaying, hidden failures, wide area measurement, globalpositioning satellites and the specific application of digitaldevices.
* Includes relay designs such as electromechanical, solid-stateand digital relays to illustrate the advantages and disadvantagesof each.
* Re-examines traditional equipment protection practices toinclude new concepts such as transmission line differentialprotection, load encroachment on distance relay characteristics,distributed generation systems, and techniques to improveprotection system response to power system events.
* Analyzes system performance through oscillographs and alarmsschemes.
* Features problems to be worked through at the end of eachchapter.
