Electric Power: Distribution Emergency Operation [Book News]

This book is designed to aid in the spread of local power distribution outages and threats. Part I begins by reviewing the state of the art of communication architectures for distribution networks. Part II provides methods for data preparation and modeling for operation. It explains how geographic information system (GIS) data sets can be extracted and transformed to incidence and adjacency matrixes, which are then used to analyze the distribution subsystem energization state, a new concept introduced in this book. Part III describes unbalanced threephase distribution power flow, a tool for further fault identification and isolation and temporary service restoration. Part IV explains concepts related to outage management, crew coordination, trouble tickets, and switching procedure management within the emerging development of networked microgrids. The book also includes a table of contents, a preface, acknowledgments, a glossary, a guide to acronyms, author biographies, a bibliography, and an index.
