PREFACE

THANKS TO THE VERY GOOD response received by the first edition of this book, the authors were encouraged to revise and prepare a second edition. In taking advantage of this opportunity, the first edition has been thoroughly revised from the perspectives of

Although the basic objective of the book remains the same as described in the preface to the first edition and the material is still grouped in five parts, the original edition had 14 chapters, whereas the new edition has 20 chapters. Some of the new chapters are the result of re-arrangement of the material in the original book, while the rest contain new material. A brief description of the five parts highlighting the changes is given in what follows.

PART I: FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS

The background and power system structure, in addition to the layout of the distribution system for both small and large distribution systems, is presented as an introduction in Chapter 1. The fundamental concepts of distribution systems are now the subject of Chapters 2 and 3. The duties of distribution engineers including the factors affecting the planning process are introduced here. It is aimed at identifying the key steps in planning. Examples of structures used in distribution systems at medium and low voltages are presented.

Definitions of load forecast terms and different methods of estimating the demand forecast with application examples are now explained in Chapter 4.

PART II: PROTECTION AND SWITCHGEAR

Earthing, protection schemes and distribution switchgear are included in this part. Various methods of earthing, as the protection system is based on it, are explained in Chapter 5. Computation of short-circuit current, on which the design of protection is based, is presented in Chapter 6. General description of the types of protection schemes in distribution systems is now split and is presented in Chapters 7 and 8.

Details about switchgear devices and switchgear installation, including the major factors affecting the design of switchboards, have also been reorganized in Chapters 9 and 10, respectively.

PART III: POWER QUALITY

The key elements of quality of power supply (voltage quality, power factor and harmonics) and means of their improvement are now explained in Chapters 11 through 15 with relatively minor revisions to the material in the original edition.

PART IV: MANAGEMENT AND AUTOMATION

Reliability, economics, investment aspects and methodologies applied to improve the performance of the distribution systems are explained in Chapter 16 by applying demand-side management and energy-efficiency policies.

The difference between system automation and monitoring, using supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems, and the conditions of using various architectures are given in Chapter 17. In addition, the role of SCADA to modernize the distribution system to become a smart grid is illustrated.

PART V: DISTRIBUTED ENERGY RESOURCES AND MICROGRIDS

Various types of distributed energy sources and the corresponding effect of integrating these sources with the distribution system are described in Chapter 18.

Energy storage systems are required to meet the intermittency of the power source when using solar or wind sources and to provide added benefits such as improved control, power quality, dynamic and transient stability, reliability and satisfactory operation. Various types of energy storage systems that can be used for this purpose are discussed in Chapter 19.

The integration of distributed generation, energy storage systems and consumption into one system, commonly referred to as a microgrid, in addition to the recent trend to modernize it to become a smart grid, is illustrated in Chapter 20.

Electric power distribution systems cover a broad spectrum of topics. To keep the overall length of the book within a reasonable limit, many of these topics are, per force, not covered in depth. However, all material is supported by an extensive list of references from which the interested reader can get more details for an in-depth study.
