Describing in detail how electrical power systems are 
planned and designed, this monograph illustrates the 
required structures of systems, substations and 
equipment using international standards and latest 
computer methods. 
The book discusses the advantages and disadvantages of 
the different arrangements within switchyards and of the 
topologies of the power systems, describing methods to 
determine the main design parameters of cables, overhead 
lines, and transformers needed to realize the supply task, as 
well as the influence of environmental conditions on the design 
and the permissible loading of the equipment. Additionally, 
general requirements for protection schemes and the main 
schemes related to the various protection tasks are given. 
With its focus on the requirements and procedures of tendering 
and project contracting, this book enables the reader to adapt 
the basics of power systems and equipment design to special 
tasks and engineering projects.
