This market leading classic is a true comprehensive on-the-job reference, covering all aspects of getting electricity from the source to user via the power grid. Electric power transmission and distribution is a huge sector, and engineers require the real world guidance of this book in order to upgrade networks to handle smart and renewable sources of power. This new edition covers renewable and distributed energy developments, international regulatory compliance issues with coverage of IEC standards, and new key conversions to US based standards and terminologies
Utilising examples from real-life systems and challenges, this book clearly and succinctly outlines fundamental knowledge requirements for working in this area. Written by engineers for engineers, theory is tied to current best-practice, and new chapters cover hot topics including DC Transmission, Smart Networks and bringing renewable sources into the grid. Particularly useful for power engineers starting out on their career, this new edition ensures Bayliss remains an essential 'tool of the trade' for all engineers, technicians, managers and planners involved in electricity supply and industrial electricity usage.
- Updated to ensure that the book continues to deliver all the fundamental knowledge requirements of practicing power engineers in a single volume.
- High profile authors with extensive career-long knowledge of the industry.
- 30% new and revised content includes new chapters on renewable and distributed energy sources
- Expanded coverage of power quality, latest EMC standards and requirements, earthing and bonding, surge protection, line design and switchgear developments
About the Authors
Colin Bayliss received a first-class honors degree in electrical and electronic engineering together with a PhD in materials science from Nottingham University. He has worked on major power projects both at home in the United Kingdom and throughout the world with client, contractor, and consultancy organizations. He was appointed as engineering director by the Channel Tunnel main contractors (Transmanche Link, TML) during the last 2 years of that project's construction, having been involved previously in the earlier design stages. He became the operations and main board director of the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) before retirement in 2010. He was a founding non-executive director of Cogent Sector Skills Council and is continuing his interests in training. He holds an honorary professorship with Birmingham University and also lectures at Imperial College, London.
Brian Hardy read electrical engineering at Imperial College, London, and received a graduate apprenticeship in the UK supply industry, where he served for 15 years, filling a series of senior engineering posts. Moving to consultancy, he managed design offices in Europe and the Middle East and power system projects in a number of countries, including the World Bank-funded rehabilitation of the whole of the Tanzanian power system. After serving as joint leader of the Anglo-French Design Team for all the electrical aspects of the Channel Tunnel, he was appointed as engineering director of the Balfour Beatty Group's design and construction company. He assisted the Group in the establishment of a team to take advantage of the newly developing private finance partnership market. The success of this team led to its evolving into Balfour Beatty Capital, a leading player in the UK PFI/PPP scene. One such project is a share in the joint venture (JV) management of the London Underground's power system. He acted as a technical advisor to this JV before retiring to part-time consultancy.
