<p><b>Hermann Koch</b> received his academic education at Technical University Darmstadt and New Jersey Institute of Technology in Newark, NJ from in 1986 in Electrical Engineering. His research work in the field of high voltages was concluded in 1990 with his doctoral thesis on partial discharge measurements for non-destructive testing.<br />In 1991 he started his business career with Siemens in Erlangen Germany at the headquarters of the power transmission division. In several responsibilities he was engaged in gas insulated technologies for HV circuit breaker, gas-insulated substations and transmission lines. Responsible for technical support in sales, development of gas-mixture technologies like GIL, business development for GIS and GIL and for coordination of Siemens standardization activities on Energy Transmission Division.<br />Currently he is Principle Expert of Standardization and gas-insulated high voltage system in Energy Transmission of Siemens. He is IEEE Fellow and Chairman of IEEE PES Substations Committee Working Group of the GIS Book. In IEC he is Secretary of SC 17C High Voltage Switchgear Assemblies. In CIGRE he is member of the Strategic Advisory Group of SC B3 Substations.<br />He has published 150 technical papers and holds 31 patents in the field of gas insulated technology.</p>

<p><i>Gas Insulated Substations</i> is an all-inclusive reference guide to gas insulated substations (GIS) which takes account of its basic principles, technology, application, design specification, testing and ownership issues. Practical and theoretical aspects are handled by acknowledged GIS experts who have been involved with the technology from the start. They provide the reader with the knowledge needed to identify a project with GIS, manage the GIS process and then assemble and later maintain that system. This learning resource offers engineering students and manufacturing professionals a sound insight into this important technology at a time when application of GIS is spreading as fresh projects are being launched and more companies are becoming involved.</p> <p>Key features:</p> <ul> <li>Written by leading GIS experts who have been involved in the development of the technology since its invention</li> <li>Discusses both the practical and theoretical aspects of GIS</li> <li>Details advanced and basic material, accessible for both existing GIS users and those planning to implement the technology</li> <li>Chapters are written as tutorials and provide helpful references for further reading and study</li> <li>Invaluable guide to practicing electrical, mechanical and civil engineers as well as third and fourth year electric power engineering students</li> </ul>
