Switchgear Design, Operation, and Maintenance Using Industry Standards: Protective Mechanisms, Sensing Technology, and Communication Standards

Switchgear Design, Operation, and Maintenance Using Industry Standards: Protective Mechanisms, Sensing Technology, and Communication Standards is a practical handbook from both industry experts and academics covering the latest developments in switchgear. This book breaks down cutting-edge practical techniques according to the hierarchy of switchgear operations, with an emphasis on the critical technologies for automation in the energy transition. Following a helpful refresher on switchgear fundamentals, Part I examines essential safety considerations from fault identification and resolution to DC-type circuit breakers and other protective mechanisms. Part II sets out operating principles and testing procedures for reliable smart substations, including communication protocols, validation, and cyber-security. Finally, Part III considers maintenance and essential operation such as circuit-breaker maintenance and the applications and importance of high-voltage DC switchgear for the energy transition. Providing a supportive and up-to-date helping hand for the transfer from university programs to industry, 'Switchgear as per Industry Standards' will allow professionals to design, operate, and maintain the smart, automated substations that the energy transition needs. Tailors itself to industry standards and the practical hierarchy of switchgear operations for maximum applicationIncludes clear chapter objectives and case studies to support learningCovers the latest switchgear developments for automated substations to support the energy transition INDICE: 1.
