Book Description:
Technological advances and structural changes within the electric
utility industry mandate that protection engineers develop a solid
understanding of the related new technologies as well as of power
system operations and economics in order to function proficiently.
Continuing in the bestselling tradition of the previous editions by the
late J. Lewis Blackburn, Protective
relaying: Principles and
Applications, Third Edition retains the fundamentals of protection
relays and
power system protection while incorporating new developments
in the field. Thoroughly updated and revised, this third edition
focuses on technological changes in the design of protective systems,
the practical concerns of
power system protection encountered by users,
and the techniques for protecting typical facilities used in modern
power systems. New to the Third Edition · Expanded coverage of the
requirements for generator intertie protection, generator protection,
and generator excitation systems · The latest technologies in
microprocessor applications, including digital-based devices and
designs · Protection issues, such as capacitor bank protection,
underfrequency and undervoltage load shedding, special protection
schemes, DC tripping scheme designs, fault location, and event reports
Building on the excellence of the preceding editions, this book will
continue to serve as a basic reference for newcomers to the area as
well as for experienced engineers. By sharing his first-hand experience
with protection practices, the author offers valuable realistic insight
into this field.
