Electric Power Distribution System Engineering Handbook - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Modern electric distribution systems are no longer simple one-way networks. Today’s engineers must manage load growth, distributed generation, battery storage, electric vehicles, automation, power quality, resilience, and aging infrastructure—all while maintaining safe and reliable service.

Electric Power Distribution System Engineering Handbook provides a practical foundation for planning, designing, protecting, operating, and modernizing distribution networks.
Inside, you’ll learn how to:

• Plan distribution capacity using load forecasting, diversity, contingency criteria, and spatial analysis
• Design and size feeders, conductors, substations, transformers, and voltage-regulation equipment
• Understand radial, loop, primary-selective, and network distribution configurations
• Engineer overhead lines, underground cable systems, poles, duct banks, and URD layouts
• Perform fault analysis, short-circuit calculations, grounding studies, and protection coordination
• Apply fuses, reclosers, sectionalizers, relays, capacitor banks, regulators, and load tap changers
• Diagnose harmonics, voltage sags, flicker, and other power-quality problems
• Integrate solar, battery storage, DERs, EV loads, microgrids, and smart-grid technologies
• Work with SCADA, FLISR, AMI, distribution automation, and cybersecurity concepts
• Evaluate SAIDI, SAIFI, CAIDI, outage management, maintenance strategies, and asset replacement

Organized into 26 chapters across six parts, this handbook connects traditional power-distribution fundamentals with the realities of the modern grid.

Build the practical engineering knowledge needed to plan and operate safer, smarter, and more resilient distribution systems.
