Maintenance of Electrical Substation Equipments


Book Description

Prevention is better than cure and proper cure needed if a problem arises. Maintenance is the key for both preventions and cures. This book devoted to the electrical substation design and analysis and subjected to represent the maintenance of all types of electrical equipments. In this book the maintenance schedule for the associated equipments to the substation installation, commissioning and testing are highlighted with brief explanation. This book covers all vital equipments serving the substation for power demands by both domestic and industrial applications. In this book, making or preparing maintenance schedule of dc machines, induction machines, synchronous machines, transformer, transmission line, distribution lines, underground cables, circuit breakers, switchgear, protective relays, sf-6 circuit breakers, batteries in substation are presented with considering the electricity rules and regulations provide by the government. This book will be very helpful for the students of under graduated and post graduate studies in technical and skill development institutions. Various technical books, technical firms, research papers, technical manuals, notes of various educational firms and books associated to the title considered to enhance the quality of the literature for better understandings. Electrical equipment must be serviced and tested on a regular basis in order to get the most out of it, maintain its dependability, and reduce maintenance costs. Electrical equipment maintenance and overall safety are receiving more and more attention. Many communities are enacting regulations and codes requiring periodic inspection and testing of large electrical facilities within their jurisdictions; the federal government has passed laws requiring substation maintenance; and insurance companies are basing premiums on the quality of a facility's maintenance program and equipment condition.

Protection of Substation Critical Equipment Against Intentional Electromagnetic Threats


Book Description

The modern microprocessor based electronic equipment most vulnerable to Intentional Destructive Electromagnetic Interferences (IDEI) includes High-Altitude Electromagnetic Pulse (HEMP) in all substation equipment. However, power equipment and especially transformers are also subject to the influence of HEMP. The book discusses problems and solutions for both kinds of substation equipment. Separated into eight chapters, the book covers: Technological progress and its consequences; Intentional Destructive Electromagnetic Interferences (IDEI); Methods and means of Digital Protective Relay (DPR) protection from electromagnetic pulse; Passive methods and means of DPR protection from electromagnetic pulse; Active methods and means of DPR protection from electromagnetic pulse; Tests of DPR resistance to IDEI impacts; Organizational and technical measures to protect DPR from HEMP; and Protection of power equipment and transformers from HEMP. Key features: Practical approach focusing on technical solutions for difficult problems. Full data on electromagnetic threats and methods of their prevention are concentrated. Addresses a gap in knowledge in the power system industry. This book emphasizes practical recommendations on protection of power substations' electric equipment from IDEI that intended for not only staff operating electric equipment, but also for manufacturers of this equipment, specialists of designing companies, managers of electric energy industry as well as for teachers and postgraduate students.




Electric Power Substations Engineering


Book Description

Combining select chapters from Grigsby's standard-setting The Electric Power Engineering Handbook with several chapters not found in the original work, Electric Power Substations Engineering became widely popular for its comprehensive, tutorial-style treatment of the theory, design, analysis, operation, and protection of power substations. For its




Substations


Book Description

This handbook offers the whole knowledge of high voltage substations from their design and construction to the maintenance and the ongoing management, the entire asset life-cycle. The content of the book covers a range of substation topologies: Air-Insulated, Gas-Insulated and Mixed Technology Switchgear Substations together with the essential secondary systems. Additionally specialized substations such as ultra high voltage (UHV), offshore substations for wind power plants and the use of gas insulated lines are included. The book includes topics, providing information for increased reliability and availability, asset management, environmental management aspects, and the adoption of appropriate technological advances in equipment and systems in substations. The book was written by more than 30 experts from around the world and assembled through the Cigré study committee on Substations. This guarantees that the book contains information that is based on the global exchange and dissemination of unbiased information for technical and non-technical audiences. Although there are other works containing references to Substations, this book is designed to provide a complete overview of the topic in one book, providing a valuable reference for anyone interested in the topic.




Handbook on Battery Energy Storage System


Book Description

This handbook serves as a guide to deploying battery energy storage technologies, specifically for distributed energy resources and flexibility resources. Battery energy storage technology is the most promising, rapidly developed technology as it provides higher efficiency and ease of control. With energy transition through decarbonization and decentralization, energy storage plays a significant role to enhance grid efficiency by alleviating volatility from demand and supply. Energy storage also contributes to the grid integration of renewable energy and promotion of microgrid.
