Power Engineering New Edition of a Bestseller!
Digital Protective Relays Problems and Solutions Vladimir Gurevich Israel Electric Corporation, Haifa
This book focuses on the problems and disadvantages associated with use of digital (microprocessorbased) protection relays (DPR) dominating the global market—from manufacturing, transportation, and communication to banking and healthcare. While there is already a massive amount of literature documenting the benefits of using digital relays, devices as sophisticated as DPR obviously have crucial faults and drawbacks that need to be understood but go largely unexamined. Delving into the less familiar inner workings of DPR, this book fills a critical literary void and helps decision makers and specialists in the field of protection relays find their way out of the informational vacuum. The book provides vital information to assist them in evaluating relay producers’ claims and then choose the right product.
Tearing away the informational “curtain” that exists today, this book: • Describes construction of functional modules of existing relays • Analyzes drawbacks and problems of digital relays • Details specific technical problems and their solutions • Shows how to assess danger from intentional destructive electromagnetic intrusions • Discusses alternative (non-microprocessor-based) protection relays, and problems related to international standards Focusing on practical solutions, this book explains how to correctly choose digital relays and ensure their proper use while avoiding the many problems they can present. The author eschews mathematics, theory, and other basics in favor of more practical, tangible information not easily found elsewhere. Setting itself apart from other books on the subject, this volume shines a light into the long hidden “black box” of information on DPR, giving users a valuable tool to help them anticipate possible problems—something sorely lacking in the literature.

Post-Oil Energy Technology
Third Edition
The World's First Solar-Hydrogen Demonstration Power Plant
Roger A. Messenger
Bela Liptak
VB Engineering, Boca Raton, Florida, USA
Liptak Associates, Stamford, Connecticut, USA
Jerry Ventre Florida Solar Energy Center, Cocoa, Florida, USA
Thoroughly updated, Photovoltaic Systems Engineering, Third Edition presents a comprehensive engineering basis for photovoltaic (PV) system design, exploring the what, how, and especially the why associated with the electrical, mechanical, economic, and aesthetic aspects of PV system design. Building on the popularity of the first two editions, the esteemed authors focus on design from the outset, exploring the significant growth and new ideas in the PV industry. They integrate their experience in system design and installation gained since publication of the last edition, which is reflected in design examples and problems. This edition also includes additional material on incentives, structural design and the use of ASCE 7, with emphasis on array layout, wind loading, and shade analysis.
This cutting-edge book presents: • An updated overview of energy production and consumption
Examines Solutions to the Climate and Energy Crisis Demonstrating the feasibility of a clean, renewable global energy future, Post-Oil Energy Technology describes the detailed technical design of the first 1,000-megawatt solar power plant with hydrogen storage. The preeminent author looks at how to solve the energy crisis, eliminate global warming, reduce starvation, and improve the world’s economy through a solar-hydrogen economy that is technically possible and cost-effective. He presents a pragmatic and realistic strategy of transitioning from a fossil fuel- and nuclear-based economy to an economy based on solar hydrogen, with discussion of the technical plant design, process control and energy conservation.
Features • Looks at how to solve the energy crisis, eliminate global warming, reduce starvation, and enrich the economy
• Mathematical background for understanding energy supply and demand
• Presents a pragmatic and realistic strategy of transitioning from a fossil fuel- and nuclearbased economy to an economy based on clean, renewable solar hydrogen
• A summary of the solar spectrum and how to optimize the capture of the sun’s energy
• Incorporates process control and optimization techniques for energy conservation
• A modified top-down approach to building an optimized PV system
Content
• Analysis of the components used in PV systems
The Case for Renewable Energy Processes. Control and Optimization of Energy Conservation and Renewable Energy Processes. Sensors and Analyzers for Renewable Energy Processes.The Design of the World’s First Full-Size SolarHydrogen Demonstration Power Plant.
• Economic and environmental issues in PV design criteria The book elucidates the design of PV systems so that when engineering judgment is needed, the engineer and students in the field can make intelligent decisions based on a clear understanding of the parameters involved. This goal differentiates it from the many design and installation guides that simply train readers how to make design decisions but never explain why. Here, the authors explain the reasons why a PV design is executed a certain way, and how the design process is actually implemented.

Business Essentials for Utility Engineers Richard E. Brown Vice President, Quanta Technology, Cary, North Carolina, USA
It is no longer acceptable for utility engineers to make spending decisions solely because they make good engineering sense. In today’s environment, they must also demonstrate solid business acumen and show that recommendations make good business sense. With this goal in mind, Business Essentials for Utility Engineers systematically presents each business topic to arm engineers with the tools and vocabulary necessary to be more effective when interacting with senior management, and for promotion to senior management. This book covers all business concepts important to utility engineers, including regulation, ratemaking, accounting, finance, risk management, economics, budgeting, and asset management. Chapters are organized to build sequentially upon each other, and take advantage of the mathematical sophistication and deductive nature of engineers when presenting material. Suitable for self-study, undergraduate study, graduate study, or as a desk reference, this book provides a robust framework for correct business thinking and a solid foundation for further learning.
