A practical, hands-on approach to power distribution system
reliability

As power distribution systems age, the frequency and duration of
consumer interruptions will increase significantly. Now more than
ever, it is crucial for students and professionals in the
electrical power industries to have a solid understanding of
designing the reliable and cost-effective utility, industrial, and
commercial power distribution systems needed to maintain life
activities (e.g., computers, lighting, heating, cooling, etc.).

This books fills the void in the literature by providing readers
with everything they need to know to make the best design decisions
for new and existing power distribution systems, as well as to make
quantitative "cost vs. reliability" trade-off studies. Topical
coverage includes:

* Engineering economics

* Reliability analysis of complex network configurations

* Designing reliability into industrial and commercial power
systems

* Application of zone branch reliability methodology

* Equipment outage statistics

* Deterministic planning criteria

* Customer interruption for cost models for load-point reliability
assessment

* Isolation and restoration procedures

* And much more

Each chapter begins with an introduction and ends with a
conclusion and a list of references for further reading.
Additionally, the book contains actual utility and industrial power
system design problems worked out with real examples, as well as
additional problem sets and their solutions. Power Distribution
System Reliability is essential reading for practicing
engineers, researchers, technicians, and advanced undergraduate and
graduate students in electrical power industries.

Rezensionen

"Using numerous examples and case studies, they thoroughly
describe the determination of failure rates and associated outage
timing for various systems including the radial, primary selective,
and secondary selective versions." (Electrical
Apparatus, 1 August 2012)
