Power system design fundamentals
This chapter will examine fundamental aspects of electrical power system theory that form the basis of power system design and operation, and which in turn are essential to the preparation of a construction design specification. It will also briefly examine the fundamentals of the wider power system such as generator and high voltage direct current (HVDC) theory and operation. Although various parts of this chapter can be obtained from a wide range of contemporary technical publications, it is collated here to provide a concise and relevant reference source in a single publication for ease of assimilation. The following will be examined: 1.Basic power system relationships 2. Power system current flow analysis 3. Transformer fundamentals 4. Per cent impedance and fault level analysis 4. Synchronous generator fundamentals 5.Wind generation 6. Power system transients 7.HVDC transmission.
