Power quality

Electric utilities now face a double demand: cut costs in newly deregulated markets while keeping service up to standard. This volume addresses that challenge by bringing together power quality, harmonics and static var compensators in a single text. It shows how power electronic equipment can be prevented from degrading supply quality through the harmonics it produces, and how a single pole autoreclosing scheme can lower labor costs and improve supply reliability. It also covers the analysis of current and voltage transformer frequency response when measuring harmonics.

Drawing on the authors' long experience in the electric supply industry, the book is aimed at engineers who must handle growing loads, reinforce transmission networks and maintain a dependable electricity supply.
