Underground Transmission Systems Reference Book Free VitalSource Bookshelf

The free VitalSource Bookshelf application allows you to access to your eBooks whenever and wherever you choose.

Where the content of the eBook requires a specific layout, or contains maths or other special characters, the eBook will be available in PDF (PBK) format, which cannot be reflowed.

For both formats the functionality available will depend on how you access the ebook (via Bookshelf Online in your browser or via the Bookshelf app on your PC or mobile device).

Designed for senior-level undergraduate and beginning-level graduate students, the book serves as a text for a two-semester course or, by judicious selection, the material may be condensed into one semester.

Written to promote hands-on self-study, it also makes an ideal reference for practicing engineers in the electric power utility industry.

Ample equations and homework problems reinforce the information presented in each chapter.

A special effort is made to familiarize the reader with the vocabulary and symbols used by the industry.

Plus, the addition of numerous impedance tables for overhead lines, transformers, and underground cables makes the text self-contained.

He has held positions at University of MissouriColumbia, University of MissouriRolla, University of Oklahoma, Iowa State University, Florida International University, and Ankara Technical College; served as a design engineer and consultant in US and international power industries; and written over 100 technical papers and five books.

An IEEE fellow and IIE senior member, he is currently professor of electrical engineering and director of the Electrical Power Educational Institute at California State University, Sacramento.

It is well-suited for self-study because it contains background theory for each topic covered, and numerous numerical examples and problems crafted to apply the information presented.

The appendix is filled with tables of data pertaining to overhead lines, transformers, underground cables, costing, regulations, definitions, unit conversions, and MATLAB examples.

All this information in one place makes this book an excellent reference for the practicing power engineer.

It will be useful for many years.

There are many practical examples included and clear explanations.

I like the way that industry standards and current practices are introduced and explained.

Most students do not have a familiarity with the equipment used in the power system, and this work bridges that gap and provides a clear picture of how the pieces work together.
