Electric Power Applications of Fuzzy Systems (IEEE Press Series on Power Engineering)

This book offers an introduction to applications of fuzzy system theory to selected areas of electric power engineering. It presents theoretical background material from a practical point of view and then explores a number of applications of fuzzy systems. Most recently, there has been a tremendous surge in research and application articles on this subject. Until now though, there have been no books that put together a practical guide to the fundamentals and applications aspects. Electric Power Applications of Fuzzy Systems presents, under one cover, original contributions by authors who have pioneered in the application of fuzzy system theory to the electric power engineering field. Each chapter contains both an introduction to and a state-of-the-art review of each application area. "...offers an introduction to the subject, presenting theoretical background material and exploring various applictions...with original contributions from pioneers in the field and state-of-the-art reviews of each area." Providing a comprehensive description of the dynamic condition of the power system, this classic text presents critical information on synchronous generators and their excitation systems, as well as extensive material on mathematical modeling of these critical components. You will learn how to analyze the dynamic performance of interconnected power systems, examine the characteristics of the various components of a power system during normal operating conditions and during disturbances, and explore the detailed mathematical models of system components and analyze the system behavior using the necessary computational tools. Written for practicing engineers in the electric power industry, as well as advanced students interested in power system dynamic behavior, this "must-have" guide will help you understand the dynamic performance of power systems.

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 comprehensive textbook introduces electrical engineers to the most relevant concepts and techniques in electric power systems engineering today. With an emphasis on practical motivations for choosing the best design and analysis approaches, the author carefully integrates theory and application. Key features include more than 500 illustrations and diagrams, clearly developed procedures and application examples, important mathematical details, coverage of both alternating and direct current, an additional set of solved problems at the end of each chapter, and an historical overview of the development of electric power systems. This book will be useful to both power engineering students and professional power engineers." "An IEEE Press Classic Reissue. This advanced text and industry reference covers the areas of electric power and electric drives, with emphasis on control applications and computer simulation. Using a modern approach based on reference frame theory, it provides a thorough analysis of electric machines and switching converters. You'll find formulations for equations of electric machines and converters as well as models of machines and converters that form the basis for predicting and understanding system-level performance. This text is appropriate for courses at the senior/graduate level, and will also be of particular interest to systems analysts and control engineers in the areas of electric power and electric drives." The classic reference for power-system engineers Power System Stability, Volumes I, II, III is a classic reference for power-system engineers, now reissued together as a set. Volume I, Elements of Stability Calculations , covers the elements of stability, principal affecting factors, and applications on power systems. Volume II, Power Circuit Breakers and Protective Relays features in-depth information on organization, materials, actions, and conditions as they relate to power system stability. Volume III, Synchronous Machines , details the more advanced calculations required in special circumstances that demand a higher level of accuracy than the simplified calculations presented in Volume I can provide.
