Electric Power Distribution

Power distribution is an integral and vital part of the electric power system. About 90% of transmission and distribution system's losses and faults occur during distribution. These losses can be brought down effectively using Advanced Distribution Management System (ADMS), smart grid technology infrastructure and locational value of the expanding distributed energy resources.The seventh edition of this highly acclaimed book throws light on these aspects of electric power distribution. It also provides discussion on different renewable energy sources which are slowly replacing conventional methods of electricity generation. Simple and well-structured text, and subject matter coverage in the Indian context, makes this book a useful resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students of electrical engineering and professional engineers working in the electric power distribution field.Key Features:• Coverage of power distribution along with commercial aspects like consumer services, metering and billing, tariffs and markets, etc.• New chapter on Distribution System Operation that discusses integrated distribution system operation• Two new appendices on Power Plant CO, Emissions and Per Capita Power Consumption• Discussion on new business models enhancing the participation of prosumers and rolling out electric vehicles• Inclusion of updated content on smart optimisation, smart network, microgrids, smart buildings, forecasting of renewable power generation, energy harvesting, etc.• Inclusion of three new case studies and addition of new examples across all the chapters
