Digital ProtectiveRelaysProblems andSolutionsVladimir GurevichIsrael Electric Corporation, Haifa

This book focuses on the problems and disadvan-tages associated with use of digital (microprocessor-based) protection relays (DPR) dominating the glob-al market—from manufacturing, transportation,and communication to banking and healthcare.While there is already a massive amount of literaturedocumenting the benefits of using digital relays,devices as sophisticated as DPR obviously have cru-cial faults and drawbacks that need to be under-stood but go largely unexamined.

Delving into the less familiar inner workings of DPR,this book fills a critical literary void and helps deci-sion makers and specialists in the field of protectionrelays find their way out of the informational vacu-um. The book provides vital information to assistthem in evaluating relay producers’ claims and thenchoose the right product.

Tearing away the informational “curtain”that exists today, this book:

• Describes construction of functional modules ofexisting relays

• Analyzes drawbacks and problems of digitalrelays

• Details specific technical problems and theirsolutions

• Shows how to assess danger from intentionaldestructive electromagnetic intrusions

• Discusses alternative (non-microprocessor-based)protection relays, and problems related to inter-national standards

Focusing on practical solutions, this book explainshow to correctly choose digital relays and ensuretheir proper use while avoiding the many problemsthey can present. The author eschews mathematics,theory, and other basics in favor of more practical,tangible information not easily found elsewhere.Setting itself apart from other books on the subject,this volume shines a light into the long hidden“black box” of information on DPR, giving users avaluable tool to help them anticipate possible prob-lems—something sorely lacking in the literature.

They integrate their experience in system designand installation gained since publication of the lastedition, which is reflected in design examples andproblems. This edition also includes additionalmaterial on incentives, structural design and the useof ASCE 7, with emphasis on array layout, windloading, and shade analysis.

This cutting-edge book presents:

• An updated overview of energy production andconsumption

• Mathematical background for understandingenergy supply and demand

• A summary of the solar spectrum and how tooptimize the capture of the sun’s energy

• A modified top-down approach to building anoptimized PV system

• Analysis of the components used in PV systems

• Economic and environmental issues in PV designcriteria

The book elucidates the design of PV systems so thatwhen engineering judgment is needed, the engineerand students in the field can make intelligent decisionsbased on a clear understanding of the parametersinvolved. This goal differentiates it from the manydesign and installation guides that simply train readershow to make design decisions but never explain why.Here, the authors explain the reasons why a PV designis executed a certain way, and how the design processis actually implemented.

Standards,ConformityAssessment, andAccreditation forEngineersRobert D. HunterRobert D. Hunter Associates,Austin, Texas, USA

Presenting information in a way that is easy to under-stand, this book discusses conformity assessment andaccreditation as defined in a new set of standards bythe ISO/IEC. Written by a licensed professional engi-neer with more than 25 years of experience, it pro-vides the tools to easily understand and comply withnew standards. This accessible resource not onlyaddresses the technical areas of standardization butalso the legal, economic, management, and educa-tion aspects. It covers required vocabulary and gath-ers references from the substantial yet scattered liter-ature on standards.

Features

• Presents an up-to-date treatment of importantterminologies in standards, conformity assess-ment, and accreditation

• Covers economic, trade, legal, government, andmanagement aspects

• Discusses standards at the international, regional,national, state, and company levels

• Includes some little known historical backgroundon several selected topics

• Contains website and literature references onorganizations and their methods of standardsdevelopment

New!

ReverseEngineeringTechnology ofReinventionWego WangUniversity of Massachusetts,Lowell, USA

Written to advance the technology of reinventionand improve the competitiveness of commercialparts in the aftermarket, this volume discusses theproper measuring and analyses required to repro-duce or repair an original equipment manufacturer(OEM) part using modern reverse engineering tech-nologies. It also covers regulations that govern thepractice. Offering numerous real-world examples,the book helps readers determine if a duplicated orrepaired part can meet the design functionality ofthe original. Going beyond industrial manufactur-ing, the book also looks at the use of reverse engi-neering in academic research and legal and forensicanalyses.

Features

• Compares machine design with reverse engi-neering

• Introduces the applications of modern metrolo-gies used in reverse engineering

• Makes dimensional and geometric measurementeasy to understand and apply

• Discusses how to analyze the relevant propertiesfor materials identification

• Explains the necessary data required for manu-facturing process verification

• Covers statistical applications in data processingfor reverse engineering

• Examines legal precedents on intellectual proper-ty and proprietary

Contents

Geometrical Form. Material Characteristics andAnalysis. Part Durability and Life Limitation.Material Identification and Process Verification.Data Process and Analysis. Part Performance andSystem Compatibility. Acceptance and Legality.

BusinessEssentials forUtility EngineersRichard E. BrownVice President, QuantaTechnology, Cary, North Carolina, USA

It is no longer acceptable for utility engineers tomake spending decisions solely because they makegood engineering sense. In today’s environment,they must also demonstrate solid business acumenand show that recommendations make good busi-ness sense. With this goal in mind, BusinessEssentials for Utility Engineers systematically pres-ents each business topic to arm engineers with thetools and vocabulary necessary to be more effectivewhen interacting with senior management, and forpromotion to senior management.

This book covers all business concepts important toutility engineers, including regulation, ratemaking,accounting, finance, risk management, economics,budgeting, and asset management. Chapters areorganized to build sequentially upon each other,and take advantage of the mathematical sophistica-tion and deductive nature of engineers when pre-senting material. Suitable for self-study, undergrad-uate study, graduate study, or as a desk reference,this book provides a robust framework for correctbusiness thinking and a solid foundation for furtherlearning.

Features

• Uses mathematics and analytical geometry todescribe and demonstrate business concepts

• Describes how business skills can be applied totypical engineering decisions made by utilityemployees

• Provides a solid foundation of business theory,describes how to properly apply this theory toutilities, and teaches specific business skills thatcan be used by utility engineers

• Enables utility engineers to combine good tech-nical analysis with good business analysis and tocommunicate to executives in a language thatthey understand

• Includes summary and study questions at theend of each chapter

Contents

Utilities. Accounting. Economics. Finance. Risk.Financial Ratios. Ratemaking. Budgeting. Strategy.Asset Management.
