Overview

Poor power quality can damage computers, phone systems and other microelectronic devices. This book provides a non-mathematical guide to basic power-quality strategies and methods used to protect electronic systems. Changes in both the nature of microelectronic devices (their increasing sensitivity) and the power grid (the increasing stress upon it) are reflected in this new edition, which features over 200 pages of new material and is nearly twice the size of the first edition. Key features of this book include coverage of: maintaining power quality in distributed generation systems; benchmarking power quality; and power quality in new electric wiring.

Reviews

A reader from Santa Cruz, CA; Dugan's book is an excellent reference on power quality. Nicely organized, starting with terms and definitions, and finishing with advice on making measurements. Very readable, with minimal use of equations, and maximum use of sketches, drawings, and graphical data. A must have for every power quality professional


Author Information

Roger C. Dugan (Knoxville, TN) is a senior Technical Executive with the Electric Power Research Institute. He has a BSEE degree from Ohio University and an ME degree in electric power engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. He has over 40 years experience in electric power quality and distribution system analysis. He was elected a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) for his work in harmonics and transients in power systems. Dr. Surya Santoso (Austin, TX) is an Associate Professor at the University of Texas. He earned MSE and PhD degrees from the University of Texas at Austin in electrical engineering. Dr. Santoso's research interests are in electric power quality and wind power systems. His most significant contributions are in pioneering and advancing the engineering science of root-cause analysis of electric power quality disturbance phenomena, education of electric power quality, and in the time-domain modeling and simulation of electromagnetic transients and wind power systems for integration studies. While working in the industry, he was a principal investigator for over twenty industrial and utility studies in power quality and wind power integration. His research in academia has been supported by EPRO, TVA, ONR, NSF, NREL, Electrotek, and Manitoba HVDC Research Center. Mark F. McGranaghan (Knoxville, TN) is Vice President of the Power Delivery and Utilization Sector for the Electric Power Research Institute. He has BSEE and MSEE degrees from the University of Toledo and an MBA from the University of Pittsburgh. He was vice chairman of the IEEE SCC 22 Power Quality Standards Coordinating Committee and a technical advisor for the IEC SC77A (International Power Quality Standards). He has taught seminars and workshops around the world had has worked with electric utilities and end users to solve power quality problems. H. Wayne Beaty (Flower Mound, TX) is editor of McGraw-Hill’s Standard Handbook of Electrical Engineering and Handbook of Electric Power Calculations, co-editor of Electric Motor Handbook, editor of Alexander Publication’s An Introduction to Electric Power Distribution. He is the former managing editor of Electric Light and Power and Power Delivery Product News. Beaty is a Senior Member of IEEE.
