Transmission, Distribution, and Renewable Energy Generation Power Equipment - Chudnovsky, Bella H.

. .

Résumé :
The revised edition presents, extends, and updates a thorough analysis of the factors that cause and accelerate the aging of conductive and insulating materials of which transmission and distribution electrical apparatus is made. When exposed to atmospheric corrosive gases, contaminants, high and low temperatures, vibrations, and other internal and external impacts, these systems deteriorate, and eventually the ability of the apparatus to function properly is destroyed. In the modern world of green energy, the equipment providing clean, electrical energy needs to be properly maintained in order to prevent premature failure. New sections in the revised edition summarize the issues of the reliability and safety of electrical apparatus, as well as supporting equipment in the field of generating renewable energy. The book's purpose is to help find the proper ways to slow down the aging of electrical apparatus, improve its performance, and extend the life of power transmission and distribution equipment....

Biographie:

Bella Helmer Chudnovsky earned her PhD in applied physics at Rostov State University (RSU) in Russia. For the first 25 years of her career, she worked as a successful scientist for the Institute of Physics at RSU and at the University of Cincinnati since 1992. During the last 12 years of her career, she worked as an R&D engineer for Schneider Electric-Square D Company, where her principal areas of activities were aimed at resolving multiple aging problems and developing means of mitigating deteriorating processes in power distribution equipment. In this field, she has published 40 papers in both national and international technical journals and conferences proceedings on topics that are summed up in the book, Electrical Power Transmission and Distribution Apparatus: Aging and Life Extension Techniques, which published in December 2012. In the second edition of the book, she included the review of the issues of aging and means of life extension techniques for renewable energy power equipment.
