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 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.

The comprehensive reference on synchronous reluctance machines, which offer high power density at low cost and support the electrification in the transport sector. This book, written by top academic and industry experts, covers all topics required to design these machines.

This book is a comprehensive, structural approach to fault diagnosis strategy. The different fault types, signal processing techniques, and loss characterisation are addressed in the book. This is essential reading for work with induction motors for transportation and energy.

This book explains the various environmental and health hazards due to electricity in its many forms, and sets out methods and practices to reduce risks.

Optimisation of electric drives for machines and EV requires considering the components as a whole. Integrated systems can be smaller, have greater flexibility, lower cost and higher power density. This book presents recent research and trends in integrated electrical motor drive technology.
