POWER ENGINEERING Fuel Cells Green Energy Sustainable Electricity Supply with Low Environmental Impact Eric Jeffs Buckinghamshire, UK

Because renewable systems are composed of a large number of small units, a considerable amount of energy is required to construct and maintain them. This book explores the future of the world’s electricity supply system, exploring the key issues associated with global warming, and which energy systems are best suited to reducing it. Written by an international journalist with 40 years of experience reporting on powergenerating technologies and global energy policies, it addresses the question of how to build an electricity supply system that meets the demands of a growing population without accelerating global warming or damaging the environment. Defining a green energy system as one whose construction, installation, and operation minimally impact the environment, the author answers some key questions: • How can renewables be exploited to contribute the greatest energy input?

• Should coal be used for clean fuel and chemical production rather than for power generation?

• How quickly can we start to build the Green Energy system?

Sleva Associates, Hillsboro, Oregon, USA

“... a timely and excellent book ... Researchers, professors, graduate students, design, and practicing professionals in the field of power engineering would find this book quite informative and useful for the studies and analysis of the transient phenomenon.”

This book provides an understanding of various power system components and their failure modes, as well as the various types of protective relays used to detect and isolate abnormal power system conditions. The author shows readers how to recognize conditions and system configurations in which power system protection can be optimized. He also discusses applications and control schemes used to ensure proper protective relay actuation and considers set points for protective relays intended to detect short circuits on distribution lines, transmission lines, transformers, and buses. Additionally, the text examines several schemes used to detect that a circuit breaker has failed to interrupt the flow of a fault current.

—AJ.F. Keri, IEEE Power & Energy Magazine

Despite the powerful numerical techniques and graphical user interfaces available in present software tools for power system transients, a lack of reliable tests and conversion procedures generally makes determination of parameters the most challenging.

This book summarizes current procedures, guidelines, and techniques for determining transient parameters for six basic power components: overhead line, insulated cable, transformer, synchronous machine, surge arrester, and circuit breaker.

Problems-Solving Tools Focused on Information Collection and Complete System Testing Expanding on papers published in the IEEE Transactions on Power Delivery, this text helps readers select the optimal determination method for their particular model. The text addresses commonly encountered problems, including: • Lack of information • Testing setups and measurements not recognized in international standards • Insufficient studies to validate models • Built-in models that do not cover all requirements
