The Electric Power System

This book provides the needed industry practical knowledge related to generation (function, types, fuel, steam cycle & critical plant components), transmission (function, design, reliability, ratings) & distribution systems (radial, autoloop, network, reliability), substation (equipment, buses, function & design), transformers (different types, function & ratings), relay protection, distributed energy resources (solar, storage & other DERs), reliability, distribution designs, storm response, climate change, blackouts, real & reactive power, load flow (power transfer, normal/emergency system operation), resiliency, cybersecurity, electric vehicles, advanced load forecasting, & utility of the future. This book will discuss major electric components from the power plant to the consumer. This book provides a good foundation for the 100% clean and renewable energy systems by 2050 or sooner and other means to mitigate climate change.
