Abstract :
This third edition of the book has updated 15 of the 20 chapters from the previous edition and added two new chapters on recent technology: Energy Storage and the Role of Substations in Smart Grids. In addition to the technical information presented in each chapter, most include references to the latest IEEE and IE C standards, CIGRE publications, and other papers. This aids the reader with where to go for further research and information. Plus the authors are all well experienced in their fields, with many of them being current and recent colleagues within the IEEE /PES Substations Committee. Many of the chapters are fewer than 20 pages, so the information is provided in an efficient manner, along with interesting photos and graphics.
