The latest edition of a robust treatment of the design, installation, and maintenance of GIS
In the newly revised Second Edition of Gas Insulated Substations (GIS), expert engineer Hermann Koch delivers a comprehensive exploration of all aspects of the design, installation, and lifetime management of gas-insulated equipment. The book includes the basic principles, technology, use and application, design, specification, testing, and ownership issues relevant to GIS.
The author discusses the theory of gas insulated technology, manufacturing, specification, instrument transformers, gas insulated bus, and the assembly process. The book offers a practical guide for users and equipment owners, as well as robust discussions of the different types of GIS technologies and configurations. Readers will also learn about emerging design trends and new approaches to the use of gas mixtures, alternative gases, and vacuum technologies.
The book also includes:
A thorough introduction to definitions, standards and references in gas-insulated substations
A comprehensive exploration of foundational information in gas-insulated substations, including the physics of gas-insulated switchgear, and its design and safety
Practical discussions of the technology of gas-insulated substations, including their modular components, design, and development processes
In-depth examinations of gas-insulated substation control and monitoring, including local control cabinets and digital communication
Perfect for power engineers, Gas Insulated Substations (GIS) is also an ideal resource for postgraduate students in electrical power engineering seeking the latest developments in gas-insulating switchgear and gas-insulating line technology.
