Review: This textbook covers the main elements of HV power systems, from insulating systems, overhead lines, cables and bushings, to switchgear and transformers. Electric power systems and HV transmission and distribution systems, including HVDC and power electronic systems are also included. The authors give details of design and testing techniques and of testing and measuring equipment. There is also an overview of transmission and distribution systems, technical, commercial and environmental considerations. Recent developments in testing and measuring technology are reviewed and the uses of fibre-based condition-monitoring strategies and life-management of electrical equipment are described.
