Publisher's Synopsis
Will the bulk electric power system be as reliable in the future as it has been in the past? Those who have addressed this question have generally only dealt with generating capacity. But there is another side to this equation - the transmission system - and to ignore it is to focus on only half the problem.;In this compendium, readers will find some of the latest and most classic articles and papers on the evolution and development of electric power transmission systems. The collection presents, in an accessible manner, timely and important information about transmission systems from a wide variety of publications. Areas covered include: an overview of deregulation issues; an overview of electric power transmission; transmission system planning and design; transmission system operation; transmission transfer capacity; restructuring, reliability and transmission; and transmission system components and research.
