The existing grid is not adapted for this purpose as it is largely a remnant from the 20th century. Can the grid be transformed into an intelligent and flexible grid that is future-proof?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis revised edition of \u003ci\u003eElectrical Power System Essentials\u003c\/i\u003e contains not only an accessible, broad, and up-to-date overview of alternating current (AC) power systems, but also end-of-chapter exercises in every chapter, aiding readers in their understanding of the material introduced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith an original approach, the book covers the generation of electric energy from thermal power plants as well as from renewable energy sources, and treats the incorporation of power electronic devices and FACTS. Throughout, there are examples and case studies that back up the theory or techniques presented.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe authors set out information on mathematical modelling and equations in appendices rather than integrating it into the main text. This unique approach distinguishes it from other textbooks on Electrical Power Systems and makes the resource highly accessible for undergraduate students and readers without a technical background directly related to power engineering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter laying out the basics for a steady-state analysis of the three-phase power system, the book examines:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003egeneration, transmission, distribution, and utilization of electric energy\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ewind energy, solar energy, and hydro power\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003epower system protection and circuit breakers\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003epower system control and operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ethe organisation of electricity markets and the changes currently taking place\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003esystem blackouts\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003efuture developments in power systems, HVDC connections, and smart grids\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book is supplemented by a companion website from which teaching materials can be downloaded.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.wiley.com\/\/legacy\/wileychi\/powersystem\/material.html\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.wiley.com\/\/legacy\/wileychi\/powersystem\/material.html\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46854472007916,"sku":"9781118803479","price":142.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781118803479.jpg?v=1759243595","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/electrical-power-system-essentials-by-pieter-schavemaker-9781118803479","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
