Features: The second edition of the "Handbook of Electrical Engineering" consists of 8 volumes and 58 chapters, divided into five major parts: Fundamentals, Equipment, Power Systems, Applications, Automation and Communication. The "Power Systems" volume is one of the volumes in the Handbook, including 9 chapters such as Power Systems, Hydropower, Thermal Power, Nuclear Power, Other Renewable Energy Generation, Transmission, Substation, Distribution, and Power Supply for Industrial and Civil Buildings. The volume provides a comprehensive overview of the technical achievements and development status of the domestic and international power industry in recent years. For example, the voltage level of power systems in China has been raised to AC 500kV and DC ±500kV, and new technologies such as microwave relay, fiber optics, satellite, wireless, and power-line carrier have been developed in power system communication; compact transmission lines have been added in transmission. The second edition of the "Power Systems" volume includes new chapters on other renewable energy generation, transmission, substation, distribution, and power supply for industrial and civil buildings. In summary, this volume has significantly improved in both the depth and breadth of technical content compared to the first edition. This handbook is primarily intended for a broad range of electrical engineering technicians with intermediate to advanced technical expertise, serving as a reference for checking, prompting, and inspiring solutions to various technical problems in their field and related disciplines. It can also be used as a reference for university faculty and students, as well as other relevant personnel.
