Transients in Electrical Systems: Analysis, Recognition, and Mitigation Hardcover Book, by J.C. Das, 2010, 736 pages, McGraw Hill, Publishers. J.C. Das is a senior consultant, electrical power systems, with AMEC, Inc., a leading supplier of high-value consultancy, engineering, and project management services to the world's energy, power, and process industries.This practical guide explains how to identify the origin of disturbances in electrical systems and analyze them for effective mitigation and control. Transients in Electrical Systems considers all transient frequencies, ranging from 0.1 Hz to 50 MHz, and discusses transmission line and cable modeling as well as frequency dependent behavior. Results of EMTP simulations, solved examples, and detailed equations are included in this comprehensive resource.
An aspect of importance is the practical and real world feel of the transients. Computer and EMTP simulations provide a vivid visual impact. Many illustrative examples at each stage of the development of a subject provide deeper understanding.
-
Transients in Electrical Systems covers:
-
Transients in lumped circuits
-
Control systems
-
Lightning strokes, shielding, and backflashovers
-
Transients of shunt capacitor banks
-
Switching transients and temporary overvoltages
-
Current interruption in AC circuits
-
Symmetrical and unsymmetrical short-circuit currents
-
Transient behavior of synchronous generators, induction and synchronous motors, and transformers
-
Power electronic equipment
-
Flicker, bus, transfer, and torsional vibrations

- This book is a harmonious combination of theory and practice. The theory must lead to soltuions of practical importance and real world situations. A specialist or beginner will find the book equally engrossing and interesting because, starting from the fundamentals, gradually, the subjects are developed to a higher level of understanding.
