Power system engineering

Power engineering, also called power systems engineering, is a subfield of energy engineering that deals with the generation, transmission, distribution and utilization of electric power and the electrical devices connected to such systems including generators, motors and transformers. Although much of the field is connected with the problems of three-phase AC power the standard for large-scale power transmission and distribution across the modern world a significant fraction of the field is concerned with the conversion between AC and DC power and the development of specialized power systems such as those used in aircraft or for electric railway networks. It was a subfield of electrical engieering before the emergence of energy engineering. The book "Power Systems Engineering" is divided into nine chapters. First chapter presents the discrepancy between theoretical efficiency and practical or measured efficiencies, different factors that affect the extraction of wind power are considered. Second chapter focuses on the processing of several fundamental stream that play a major role in power plant operation. Performance of PSS to damp power oscillations caused by an HVDC link in ac-dc power system has been discussed in third chapter. Fourth chapter shows the usage of possibility in Briton cycle instead of turbines piston machines, which supply high efficiency obtaining possibility at lower coolant temperature. A necessary precursor to the analysis of the impact of large-scale circulations and oscillations on the wind resource at the mesoscale has been introduced in fifth chapter. Sixth chapter examines the Taipower "318 Event" in detail to demonstrate the various possibilities that could leads to NPP blackout. Seventh chapter gives the view of level 1 and 2 SPSA modelling issues and results for the Slovak NPPs. The use of power system engineering for world has been described in eighth chapter. Research on severe accidents in power plants has been determined in last chapter.
