Book Description

ISBN-10: 0863413099 | ISBN-13: 978-0863413094 | Publication Date: May 1, 1996 | Edition: Revised

When the original edition was published in 1989, it was the first book for decades to be devoted to planning and design of distribution systems. It has now been fully revised, particularly in the light of market conditions exerting stronger pressure on the design engineer, the changing structure of utilities and the increasing penetration of computer-based planning and reliability. The book sets out good distribution practice and includes theoretical and practical aspects relevant to design. There is a paperback edition to satisfy demand from graduate students and engineers in training.

This review is from: Electricity Distribution Network Design (I E E Power Engineering Series) (Hardcover)

If you have just graduated from university (college) and find yourself working in a electric power utility or power company the learning curve is pretty steep. You have to get up to speed quickly with the methods, materials and equipment in common use in the industry. This is the first book you should buy, to help you on your way. A word of caution, this book applies more readily to a Eurocentric view of electric power distribution, although the technical background and references are excellent and can be universally applied.
