Modern Power System Planning by Xifan Wang Book PDF Summary
Modern Power System Planning covers the area of planning in the electrical supply industry, from power station generation to transmission and distribution. It will enable the practising engineer to implement the increasingly sophisticated and most modern techniques of planning. The text offers a clear, detailed treatment of this subject with each chapter building on the material of the previous one. The reader is familiarized with mathematical and statistical theory before the applications are introduced, and the material in each chapter is cross-referenced for clarity and to reinforce the concepts presented. The authors have taken a unified approach to reliability and planning analysis. Included in its coverage are the definition of general reliability indices, plant maintenance scheduling, generation system and transmission network planning, and forecasting techniques and applications. The use of optimization techniques for these processes is explored in depth. In every chapter there are detailed case studies based on the authors' practical experience and research. These are drawn from actual power system planning projects, thus placing the work directly into the context of current practice in industry. Thus, the reader is provided with a text giving a unique breadth and depth of education in this subject.
