Circuit Modeling for Electromagnetic Compatibility
Ian B. Darney
The Institution of Engineering and Technology, 2013
Very simply, electromagnetic interference (EMI) costs money, reduces profits, and generally wreaks havoc for circuit designers in all industries. This book shows how the analytic tools of circuit theory can be used to simulate the coupling of interference into, and out of, any signal link in the system being reviewed. The technique is simple, systematic and accurate. It enables the design of any equipment to be tailored to meet EMC requirements.Every electronic system consists of a number of functional modules interconnected by signal links and power supply lines. Electromagnetic interference can be coupled into and out of every conductor. A review of the construction of the wiring assemblies and the functions of the signals they carry will allow critical links to be identified. Circuit modeling can be used to simulate the electromagnetic coupling mechanism of each critical link, allowing its performance to be analyzed and compared with the formal requirements. Bench testing during the development of any product will allow any interference problem to be identified and corrected, long before the manufactured unit is subjected to formal testing. Key Features: A fully outlined, systematic and dramatically simplified process of designing equipment to meet EMC requirements; Focuses on simplifications which enable electrical engineers to singularly handle EMC problems; Helps minimize time-to-market of new products and reduces the need for costly and time-consuming modifications; Outlines how general purpose test equipment (oscilloscopes and signal generators) can be used to validate and refine any model; Discusses how to use Mathcad or MATLAB® to perform analysis and assessment.

Clean Energy Microgrids
Shin'ya Obara
The Institution of Engineering and Technology, 2017
Microgrids are electric power grids composed of loads and distributed energy resources which provide electricity to villages, university campuses and other entities usually smaller than cities which are capable of operating independently from the larger grid if necessary. Such systems are gaining importance in times of rising shares of renewable power and desire for energy resilience.

Coaxial Electrical Circuits for Interference-Free Measurements
Shakil Awan
The Institution of Engineering and Technology, 2011
The authors have between them more than 60 years of experience in making electrical measurements in National Measurement Laboratories. These laboratories are the source of measurement standards and techniques for science and engineering and are dedicated to maintaining the international system of units (SI) by establishing and disseminating the values of measurement standards with the lowest possible uncertainty. Careful attention to detail is required in designing measurement systems that eliminate electrical interference and are as simple and as close to first principles as possible. This book draws on their experience by offering guidance and best practice for designing sensitive electrical measurement circuits.

Communication, Control and Security Challenges for the Smart Grid
Advanced security, optimization, and emerging technologies in smart grids, Volume 2S.M. Muyeen
The Institution of Engineering and Technology, 2026
Smart grids are electrical grids using ICT and two-way communications to enable varying two-way flows of electricity and information for the integration of distributed renewable generation and power storage. Research and development in this field centres on three main areas; the infrastructure system, the management system, and the protection. The integration of advanced communication, sensing, control, and optimization techniques into traditional power systems is a key challenge in transforming conventional grids into smart grids, and so empowering consumers with real-time information and control over their power usage and production.

Condition Assessment of High Voltage Insulation in Power System Equipment
R.E. James
The Institution of Engineering and Technology, 2008
The book introduces the reader to the major components of a high voltage system and the different insulating materials applied in particular equipments. During a review of these materials, measurable properties suitable for condition assessment are identified. Analyses are included of some of the insulation fault scenarios that may occur in power equipment. The basic facilities for carrying out tests on the internal and external insulation structures at high and low voltages are described. Tests and measurements according to specifications, on-site requirements and research investigations are considered. Advances in the application of digital techniques for detection and analyses of partial discharges are discussed and methods in use, or under development, for service condition monitoring are described. These include the utilization of new sensors, the solution of online problems associated with noise rejection and the adaptation of artificial intelligence techniques for incipient fault diagnosis.

Condition Monitoring of Rotating Electrical Machines
Peter Tavner
The Institution of Engineering and Technology, 2008
Condition monitoring of engineering plant has increased in importance as engineering processes are automated and manpower is reduced.

Condition Monitoring of Rotating Electrical Machines
Peter Tavner
The Institution of Engineering and Technology, 2020
Condition monitoring of engineering plants has increased in importance as engineering processes have become increasingly automated. However, electrical machinery usually receives attention only at infrequent intervals when the plant or the electricity generator is shut down. The economics of industry have been changing, placing ever more emphasis on the importance of reliable operation of the plants. Electronics and software in instrumentation, computers, and digital signal processors have improved our ability to analyse machinery online. Condition monitoring is now being applied to a range of systems from fault-tolerant drives of a few hundred watts to machinery of a few hundred MW in major plants.
