Switching in electrical transmission and distribution systems pdf

At the turn of the nineteenth century, a revolution took place in electrical engineering. In a rather short time, the transformer was invented, electric generators and motors were designed, and the step from DC to AC transmission was made. At the beginning of the twentieth century, the transmission voltages were steadily increased to reduce transmission losses. To improve operating effciency, power systems began to be interconnected. Reserve power or spinning reserve could be then shared and capital expenditure could be reduced. Nowadays the power system can be regarded as one of the most complex systems ever designed, built and operated. Despite its complexity and robustness, the switching technology facilitates consumers to connect and disconnect electric loads in a rather simple and reliable way.

Switching in Electrical Transmission and Distribution Systems presents the issues and technological solutions associated with switching in power systems, from medium to ultra-high voltage. The book systematically discusses the electrical aspects of switching, details the way load and fault currents are interrupted, the impact of fault currents, and compares switching equipment in particular circuit-breakers. The authors also explain all examples of practical switching phenomena by examining real measurements from switching tests.

The energy transition is technically feasible and less expensive than many had feared. But we need to think and act more holistically than before. Read our story.
