In a world of huge, interconnected networks that can be completely blacked out by disturbances, Power System Protection offers an improved understanding of the requirements necessary for prompt and accurate corrective action. P. M. Anderson, a noted expert on power systems, presents an analytical and technical approach to power system protection. His discussion shows how abnormal system behavior can be detected before damage occurs, and points to effective control action to limit system outages. Power System Protection is written for practicing engineers and advanced graduate-level student engineers, who need a comprehensive resource on the principles of power system behavior and methods of system analysis.
This classic text offers you the key to understanding short circuits, open conductors and other problems relating to electric power systems that are subject to unbalanced conditions. Using the method of symmetrical components, acknowledged expert Paul M. Anderson provides comprehensive guidance for both finding solutions for faulted power systems and maintaining protective system applications. You'll learn to solve advanced problems, while gaining a thorough background in elementary configurations. Features you'll put to immediate use: Numerous examples and problems Clear, concise notation Analytical simplifications Matrix methods applicable to digital computer technology Extensive appendices
This series presents biographies of deceased members of the National Academy of Engineering.
This subject is taught at many universities and the original book is used by industry engineers. Many of these readers have indicated a keen interest in the long-awaited material that is the subject of the proposed new chapters. We believe that many owners of the present volume will want to purchase the new expanded book.Chapter 1: Power System Stability.Chapter 2: The Elementary Mathematical ModelChapter 3: System Response to Small DisturbancesChapter 4: The Synchronous MachineChapter 5: The Simulation of Synchronous MachinesChapter 6: Linear Models of the Synchronous MachineChapter 7: Excitation SystemsChapter 8: Effect of Excitation on StabilityChapter 9: Multimachine Systems with Constant Impedance LoadsChapter 10: Speed GoverningChapter 11: Steam Turbine Prime MoversChapter 12: Hydraulic Turbine Prime MoversChapter 13: Combustion Turbine and Combined-Cycle Power Plants
This book deals with infectious diseases -- viral, bacterial, protozoan and helminth -- in terms of the dynamics of their interaction with host populations. The book combines mathematical models with extensive use of epidemiological and other data. This analytic framework is highly useful for the evaluation of public health strategies aimed at controlling or eradicating particular infections. Such a framework is increasingly important in light of the widespread concern for primary health care programs aimed at such diseases as measles, malaria, river blindness, sleeping sickness, and schistosomiasis, and the advent of AIDS/HIV and other emerging viruses. Throughout the book, the mathematics ...
Jonas Anderson and his older brother Alan are Lucid Dreamers. But after a car accident lands Alan in a coma, Jonas sets out into the Dream World in an attempt to find his brother and wake him up. What he discovers instead is an entire shared consciousness where fear comes to life as a snarling beast called a Night Terror, and a creature named REM is bent on destruction and misery, devouring the souls of the strongest dreamers. With the help of a Dream Walker—a guardian of the dreamscape, Jonas must face his fears, save his brother, and become who he was always meant to be: Poet Anderson.
Information is easy. Understanding is hard. From incomprehensible tax policies to confusing medical explanations, we're swamped with information that we can'’t make sense of. Figure It Out shows us how to transform information into better presentations, better meetings, better software, and better decisions. So take heart: under the guidance of Anderson and Fast, we can, in fact, figure it out—for ourselves and for others.
