About the Book: Power System Transients-A Statistical Approach
This book, now in its second edition, presents a comprehensive exposition of the
basic principles involved in the analysis and computation of power system
transients using a statistical approach. The book deals with probability
distribution of switching overvoltages in overhead lines, underground cables,
and machine windings. The accuracy of statistical methods for power system
transients, including the suitability of Gaussian distribution for these
methods, is discussed. In the case of overhead lines, a simplified statistical
method for estimating the phase-to-phase risk of insulation failure is
explained. The new edition covers the latest research developments in this
field. Analysis and modelling of
