Electric Power Transmission and Distribution is meant to serve as a textbook for students of B.Tech and B.E. Electrical Engineering. This is, in fact, the first course book for the electrical engineering student in which almost all concepts of transmission and distribution are covered in a single book. This book is mainly divided into two sections. The first section deals with power supply schemes, overhead transmission of electrical power, conductor materials, electrical and mechanical design aspects of transmission lines, performance of transmission lines, different phenomena that occur in the transmission system and overhead. It also covers the transmission of electric power by underground cables. The second section deals with electrical distribution system, where D.C. and A.C. distribution system concepts, different types of D.C. distribution schemes and different solutions to solve the A.C. distribution problems are covered.

The book covers the syllabi of many universities in India for a course in power transmission and distribution.

The dirty work essential to a clean energy transition

To achieve fossil fuel independence, few technologies are more important than batteries. Used for powering zero-emission vehicles, storing electricity from solar panels and wind turbines, and revitalizing the electric grid, batteries are essential to scaling up the renewable energy resources that help address global warming. But given the unique environmental impact of batteries--including mining, disposal, and more--does a clean energy transition risk trading one set of problems for another?

In Charged, James Morton Turner unpacks the history of batteries to explore why solving the battery problem is critical to a clean energy transition. As climate activists focus on what a clean energy future will create--sustainability, resiliency, and climate justice--the history of batteries offers a sharp reminder of what building that future will consume: lithium, graphite, nickel, and other specialized materials. With new insight on the consequences for people and communities on the front lines, Turner draws on the past for crucial lessons that will help us build a just and clean energy future, from the ground up.

The primary objectives of this revision of the laboratory manual include insuring that the procedures are clear, that the results clearly support the theory, and that the laboratory experience results in a level of confidence in the use of the testing equipment commonly found in the industrial environment.

For those curriculums devoted to a dc analysis one semester and an ac analysis the following semester there are more experiments for each subject than can be covered in a single semester. The result is the opportunity to pick and choose those experiments that are more closely related to the curriculum of the college or university. All of the experiments have been run and tested during the 13 editions of the text with changes made as needed. The result is a set of laboratory experiments that should have each step clearly defined and results that closely match the theoretical solutions.

Two experiments were added to the ac section to provide the opportunity to make measurements that were not included in the original set. Developed by Professor David Krispinsky of Rochester Institute of Technology they match the same format of the current laboratory experiments and cover the material clearly and concisely. All the experiments are designed to be completed in a two or three hour laboratory session. In most cases, the write-up is work to be completed between laboratory sessions. Most institutions begin the laboratory session with a brief introduction to the theory to be substantiated and the use of any new equipment to be used in the session.

Definitely not just for boys, The Boy Electrician is a classic introduction to electricity for curious minds of any age or gender. Full of easy-to-follow experiments and projects, this fun guidebook offers advice on building and creating your own real-life demonstrations of the principles explained, making this a true scientific adventure.

Lessons on magnetism, static electricity, batteries, motors, telegraphy, radio, and much more can be found in this single volume. If you have ever wanted to build your own simple electrical machine or just have a better overall understanding of how electricity works, this book is a must-have The Boy Electrician has stood the test of time, offering a gateway of understanding that can lead to more sophisticated explorations in electronics and how machines work.
