    • Summary

    Balancing theory, practical knowledge, and real-world applications, this reference consolidates all pertinent topics related to power distribution reliability into one comprehensive volume. Exploring pressing issues in creating and analyzing reliability models, the author highlights the most effective techniques to achieve maximum performance at lowest cost. With over 300 tables, figures, and equations, the book discusses service interruptions caused by equipment malfunction, animals, trees, severe weather, natural disasters, and human error and evaluates strategies to improve reliability and quantifies their impact by incorporating them into component and system models.

    Editorial Reviews

    "This book is certainly not a repetition of the earlier books on reliability. … This book may help in spreading the concept of reliability calculations to a wider audience. … chapter 6 … is … compulsory reading for anybody who wants to use a reliability calculation. … This is altogether a highly recommendable volume … anybody lecturing on power-system reliability or on distribution systems should read it."
