This book provides an overview of most aspects of electrical protections. The emphasis is on distribution systems, but protection of generation and transmission systems are also treated. For this 4th edition, new topics are added, such as protection of renewable power plants and transient stability analysis.

Wide Bandgap semiconductor devices offer higher efficiency, smaller size, less weight, and longer lifetime, with applications in power grid electronics and electromobility. This book describes the state of advanced packaging solutions for novel wide-band-gap semiconductors, specifically silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFETs and diodes.

This book addresses the emerging concepts, methodologies and applications of wide area monitoring, control and protection in power systems with integrated large scale renewables. Chapters cover monitoring, modelling and validation, control, and data mining with an emphasis on synchrophasor technology, and experiences with real power grids.

Written by a team of world-class experts, this book mirrors the situation in industry today and the options provided by advanced electronics and computer technology. This is a key reference for academic and professional researchers and engineers in the energy, process engineering and manufacturing industries.

Providing an overview of modelling and understanding lightning-related effects on complex power and telecommunications systems, this book explores both traditional transmission-line theory as well as the state-of-the art finite difference time-domain (FDTD) method.

This book covers the development, modelling and simulation for high-voltage DC (HVDC) transmission systems. The title also covers the electromagnetic transient model, electromechanical transient model and the dynamic average model, with the electromagnetic transient model being emphasised.

This book presents the main advanced signal processing techniques for fault detection and diagnosis in electromechanical systems. It focuses on presenting these advanced tools from time-frequency representation and time-scale analysis to demodulation techniques, including innovative and recently developed approaches.

Power devices are key to modern power systems, performing functions such as inverting and changing voltages, buffering and switching. Following a device-centric approach, this book covers power electronic applications, semiconductor physics, materials science, application engineering, and key technologies such as MOSFET, IGBT and WBG.
