HIGH VOLTAGE ENGINEERING AND TESTING, 3RD EDITION

Description

The book, now in its third edition, is based on its very successful best selling earlier HVET Editions. It will describe strategic developments and reflect on how they can best be managed. All the key components of High voltage and distribution systems and are covered. Electric power networks UHV, HV and Distribution systems including HVDC and power electronic systems are also considered. Particular consideration is given to recent developments in UHV, AC and DC transmission systems abroad. Recent developments in renewable energy techniques and environmental issues are also discussed and assessed. The book gives details of design and testing techniques. Recent developments in testing and measuring technology are again considered and reviewed together with appropriate strategic technological assessments of some applications. The book looks at UHV, HV and distribution systems both from the point of view of the provider and the user, covering everything from specification and testing to overall system co-ordination.
The ongoing dynamic changes which have taken place during the past decade are considered, moving on from the early stages of privatisation and market influences in the UK and abroad, to current strategies aimed at optimising the value of network assets and the effective utilisation of alternative renewable energy sources within network frameworks is also considered and assessed. The book is ideal for engineering students, lecturers, new graduates entering the high-voltage field, practising engineers, consultants and anyone wishing to extend their knowledge in this area.
