The book looks at growth in new loads that are consuming over 1% of all the electrical power produced, and how combining those load issues of getting power to the regions experiencing growth in energy demand can be addressed. In addition, it considers the policy issues surrounding transmission line approval by regulators.
With truly multidisciplinary content, including failure analysis of various systems, photovoltaic, wind power, quality issues with clean power, high-voltage DC transmission, electromagnetic radiation, electromagnetic interference, privacy concerns, and data security, this reference is relevant to anyone interested in the broad area of power grid stability.
- Discusses state–of-the-art trends and issues in power grid reliability
- Offers guidance on purchasing or investing in new technologies
- Includes a technical document relevant to public policy that can help all stakeholders understand the technical issues facing a green, secure power grid
Electrical power energy industry, power engineers, systems engineers, overlap with information system security professionals, reliability engineers, and public utility commissions. Also those involved in clean power generation, power distribution and the availability and reliability of the grid
