The definitive textbook for Power Systems students, providing a grounding in essential power system theory while also focusing on practical power engineering applications. Electric Power Systems has been an essential book in power systems engineering for over thirty years. Bringing the content firmly up-to-date whilst still retaining the flavour of Weedy's extremely popular original, this Fifth Edition has been revised by experts Nick Jenkins, Janaka Ekanayake and Goran Strbac. This wide-ranging text still covers all of the fundamental power systems subjects but is now expanded to cover increasingly important topics like climate change and renewable power generation. Updated material includes an analysis of today's markets and an examination of the current economic state of power generation. The physical limits of power systems equipment - currently being tested by the huge demand for power - is explored, and greater attention is paid to power electronics, voltage source and power system components, amongst a host of other updates and revisions. <ul>
<li>Supplies an updated chapter on power system economics and management issues and extended coverage of power system components. Also expanded information on power electronics and voltage source, including VSC HVDC and FACTS. </li> <li>Updated to take into account the challenges posed by different world markets, and pays greater attention to up-to-date renewable power generation methods such as wind power. </li> <li>Includes modernized presentation and greater use of examples to appeal to today's students, also retains the end of chapter questions to assist with the learning process. Also shows students how to apply calculation techniques. </li> </ul>

With increasing concern over climate change and the security of energy supplies, wind power is emerging as an important source of electrical energy throughout the world. 
Modern wind turbines use advanced power electronics to provide efficient generator control and to ensure compatible operation with the power system. Wind Energy Generation describes the fundamental principles and modelling of the electrical generator and power electronic systems used in large wind turbines. It also discusses how they interact with the power system and the influence of wind turbines on power system operation and stability. Key features: <ul>
<li>Includes a comprehensive account of power electronic equipment used in wind turbines and for their grid connection.</li> <li>Describes enabling technologies which facilitate the connection of large-scale onshore and offshore wind farms.</li> <li>Provides detailed modelling and control of wind turbine systems.</li> <li>Shows a number of simulations and case studies which explain the dynamic interaction between wind power and conventional generation.</li> </ul>

Electric power systems worldwide face radical transformation with the need to decarbonise electricity supply, replace ageing assets and harness new information and communication technologies (ICT). The Smart Grid uses advanced ICT to control next generation power systems reliably and efficiently. This authoritative guide demonstrates the importance of the Smart Grid and shows how ICT will extend beyond transmission voltages to distribution networks and customer-level operation through Smart Meters and Smart Homes. Smart Grid Technology and Applications: <ul>
<li>Clearly unravels the evolving Smart Grid concept with extensive illustrations and practical examples.</li> <li>Describes the spectrum of key enabling technologies required for the realisation of the Smart Grid with worked examples to illustrate the applications.</li> <li>Enables readers to engage with the immediate development of the power system and take part in the debate over the future Smart Grid.</li> <li>Introduces the constituent topics from first principles, assuming only a basic knowledge of mathematics, circuits and power systems.</li> <li>Brings together the expertise of a highly experienced and international author team from the UK, Sri Lanka, China and Japan.</li> </ul>
Electrical, electronics and computer engineering researchers, practitioners and consultants working in inter-disciplinary Smart Grid RD&amp;D will significantly enhance their knowledge through this reference. The tutorial style will greatly benefit final year undergraduate and master’s students as the curriculum increasing focuses on the breadth of technologies that contribute to Smart Grid realisation.

Modern Power System Protection guides the reader through all of the principles of modern protection systems and schemes in the smart grid era. The authors provide a comprehensive guide to protection principles, before examining digital systems and equipment used for modern protection schemes. They then discuss the new protection paradigms that are emerging due to the application of Synchronized Measurement Technology, involving Phasor Measurement Units, Data Concentrators and new Wide Area Monitoring, Protection and Control (WAMPAC) applications. Key features:  Surveys new trends such as protection of distributed generation, digital equipment for protection and wide area and adaptive protection concepts. Explains the fundamental concepts of protection with numerous worked examples and review questions helping the reader to better understand the models. Evaluates the new protection paradigms that are emerging due to the application of renewable energy plant and Synchronized Measurement Technology. Book companion website hosts problems and solutions, making it suitable for either self-study or for use on a university course.  Integrating a diverse range of topics into one useful volume, including the latest developments and recent trends, this text provides an effective guideline for students and professionals on many vital protection schemes.
