Momoh J.A. Electric Power Distribution, Automation, Protection, and Control

CRC Press, Taylor & Francis Group, 2007, 360 pages, ISBN: 978-1-4200-0625-4This book is intended to introduce distribution engineering as a growing area suitable for studying new trends in computation, automation, and control techniques. The idea is to present the basic concepts for assessment, design, formulation, and analysis of distribution performance. This is timely, given the growing research interest, the desire for automation, and the commitment to build an efficient and cost-effective distribution system in a competitive utility environment.
The textbook is intended as a resource for electrical engineering students, as well as professional engineers, who are interested in learning the fundamentals of distribution engineering analysis. The book presents computation and automation techniques in a simple, easy-to-follow treatment. Background requirements include a basic concept of electric circuits and a working knowledge of foundation mathematics. The text is arranged from basic distribution principles through renewable energy resources, computation tools and techniques, reliability and maintenance, distribution automation, and telecommunications. The topics are covered with illustrative examples and some case studies to illuminate the topic as needed. Overall, the book provides both analytical basics and practical intuition for the future design of distribution systems.Introduction to Distribution Automation Systems
