Digital Power System Protection

This book presents the fundamental principles of modern schemes of power system protection.

It is designed as a textbook for undergraduate students of electrical engineering and postgraduate students specializing in power engineering.

It would also be useful to research scholars and practising power engineers.Beginning with a discussion on conventional types of relays and general relaying schemes, this text maintains a consistent, logical flow of subject matter throughout, offering state-of-the-art topics such as microprocessor-based digital relaying schemes, fibre optic-based relaying and microwave relaying.

It explains digital schemes of protection of transformers and generators, power system networks as well as mains failure protection.

In addition, it provides probable solutions to electric power system failures and places special emphasis on power system management.This book: covers subject concepts in considerable depth and detail; includes chapter-end exercises to reinforce applicability of concepts and their understanding; provides more than a hundred objective type questions with answers at the end of the book to help students in preparing for the competitive examinations; and, offers a long list of research papers in chronological order to acquaint the researchers with the developments in the field.
