Fundamentals Of Power System Protection

Y. G. PAITHANKAR, Ph.D., formerly Professor and Head of Electrical Engineering Department at the Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology, Nagpur, is an accomplished teacher with over 30 years of experience in the field of power systems. He has published about 15 papers in international journals. He is the author of Transmission Network Protection: Theory and Practice (1998), published by Marcel Dekker, Inc., New York.

S. R. BHIDE, Ph.D., is Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering at the Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology, Nagpur, where he has been serving since 1984. His special areas of interest include application techniques of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to power system protection schemes.

"The electric power system is a highly complex and dynamic entity. One malfunction or a carelessly set relay can jeopardize the entire grid. Power system protection as a subject offers all the elements of intrigue, drama, and suspense while handling fault conditions in real life. The book reflects many years of experience of the authors in teaching this subject matter to undergraduate electrical engineering students.

The book, now in its second edition, continues to provide the most relevant concepts and techniques in power system protection. The second edition offers a new chapter on circuit breakers to further strengthen the text and meet the curriculum needs of several universities. Both, students and teachers, will find the book stimulating as it contains around 300 well-annotated figures and numerous tables. It also includes 20 quiz sets consisting of about 200 multiple-choice questions to test the students’ understanding of the concepts discussed.

Written in a simple, clear and down-to-earth style, this state-of-the-art text covers the entire spectrum of protective relays—from electromechanical to numerical—for protection of transmission lines, transformers, busbars, generators, and motors. The presentation is stimulating, analytical but at the same time concise. The students will find the material very friendly and refreshingly simple.

The book has a wealth of useful figures, graphs, and block diagrams to help the students assimilate the concepts discussed and develop practical orientation.

He has more than two decades of teaching experience. His research interests include multimedia communications, agent technology applications in mobile computing and wireless networks. He has published about 20 journal and 45 conference papers at national and international level.

"This second edition of the book allows students to undertake a complete study of C, including the fundamental concepts, programming, problem solving, and the data structures. The book is also structured to provide a general introduction to computer concepts before undertaking a detailed treatment of the C programming language. To that end, the book is eminently suitable for the first-year engineering students of all branches, as per the prescribed syllabus of several universities, for a course on Computer Concepts and C Programming. Besides, the book fully caters to the needs of the students pursuing undergraduate and postgraduate courses in general streams such as computer science, information science, computer applications (BCA and MCA) and information technology.

Written in an engaging style, the book builds the students’ C programming skills by using a wide variety of easy-to-understand examples, illustrating along the way the development of programming constructs and logic for writing high-quality programs. The book also develops the concepts and theory of data structures in C, such as files, pointers, structures, and unions, using innumerable examples. The worked examples, in the form of programs and program segments, are illustrated with outputs of sample runs.

A chapter on Computer Graphics is provided to give the students a feel of how C language is used for display of graphics and animation. An exclusive chapter on advanced concepts such as enumerated data types, bitwise operators and storage classes is included in sufficient detail to help students progress to writing practical and real-world applications. Besides, a new chapter presents a “C” quiz comprising of 100 objective type questions that help readers to test their C skills."

Ten Days With 8085 Microprocessor

K.A. KRISHNAMURTHY, Ph.D., is Principal, Sri Siddhartha Institute of Technology, Tumkur (Karnataka). He is a distinguished academic with B.E. in Electrical Engineering, M.Tech. in Industrial Electronics and Ph.D. from the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay. He is the recipient of U.P. State National Award (1996–1997), J.C. Bose Memorial Gold Medal of IETE (1994–1996), and ISTE national award (2003–2004) for his best research paper.

Dr. Krishnamurthy is involved in teaching courses related to microprocessors both at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. His research interests are in areas of power electronics and microprocessor-based instrumentation. He has over 90 research publications to his credit in journals of national and international repute. He is also the author of several books.

"This text is designed to provide ‘hands-on’ experience to students to help them develop an understanding of the hardware components of a microprocessor and the role of software in programming and interfacing aspects of the microprocessor. An 8-bit microprocessor, due to its simpler instruction set and architecture, is an ideal IC chip for providing the students with a solid foundation for micro-processors, their principles and applications. The concepts of all state-of-the-art processors can be understood easily, once the basics of the 8085 are understood. Today’s sophisticated microprocessors have a semblance of 8085.

The presentation style adopted in this book in a way is unique. It is a student-friendly text, written as conversation between the teacher and the students. The book lucidly explains the various programming examples in assembly language with a view to enabling students to develop microprocessor-based industrial application projects. Application programs developed in the book are based on the popular microprocessor kit, namely SDA-85.

The book is suitable for both diploma and degree level students pursuing courses in Electronics and Electrical Engineering, Electronics and Communication Engineering and Information and Communication Technology."
