‘Switchgear Design, Operation, and Maintenance using Industry Standards: Protective Mechanisms, Sensing Technology, and Communication Standards’ is a practical handbook from both industry experts and academics covering the latest developments in switchgear.

This book breaks down cutting-edge practical techniques according to the hierarchy of switchgear operations, with an emphasis on critical technologies for automation in the energy transition. Following a helpful refresher on switchgear fundamentals, Part I examines essential safety considerations from fault identification and resolution to DC-type circuit breakers and other protective mechanisms. Part II sets out operating principles and testing procedures for reliable smart substations, including communication protocols, validation, and cyber-security. Finally, Part III considers essential operational maintenance such as circuit-breaker maintenance, and the critical function of high-voltage DC switchgear for the energy transition.

An up-to-date helping hand for the transfer from university programs to industry, ‘Switchgear Design, Operation, and Maintenance using Industry Standards’ will allow professionals to design, operate, and maintain the smart, automated substations the energy transition needs.
