Reliable power distribution systems are essential to maintain a functioning society. This book covers the fundamentals of reliability analysis as they apply to the planning and design of utility, industrial, and commercial electric power distribution systems. The book covers concepts of reliability analysis by probability methods, fundamentals of power system reliability evaluation, economic evaluation, and equipment. The presentation is self-contained and actual utility and industrial power system design problems are presented and fully worked out. This is a practical, hands-on book for engineers, professionals, and students.
ALI A. CHOWDHURY, PhD, FIEEE, is Director of Regional Transmission for the California Independent System Operator. He has nearly thirty years of experience in teaching, research and development, electric utility industry, electric equipment manufacturing, and consulting in power system reliability and security assessments.
DON O. KOVAL, PhD, FIEEE, is a Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Alberta, Canada. Previously, he worked as a distribution special studies engineer for B.C. Hydro and Power Authority in Vancouver and as a subtransmission design engineer for Saskatchewan Power.
