Proven techniques for detecting and mitigating transients in electrical systems Written by a senior consultant for a major power utility corporation, this professional reference explains how to identify the origin of disturbances in electrical systems and analyze them for effective mitigation and control. The book contains case studies of simulations on EMTP, a globally recognized software used to analyze transients. Solved examples and problems are included at the end of each chapter. This comprehensive reference will help power electrical engineers create stable system operations.

J.C. Das is a senior consultant, electrical power systems, with AMEC, Inc., a leading supplier of high-value consultancy, engineering, and project management services to the world's energy, power, and process industries.
