- Summary:
- "This book will provide the reader a firm understanding of the electrical value delivery chain. It will start with an overview of electricity, how it works, and why it works that way. Then it will move on with a history of the industry that generates, transports, and distributes electrical power. After these first two chapters the book will focus on the materials, hardware, and instruments used by the industry, how systems are constructed, operated, and maintained with a special focus on control rooms. The final part of the text will cover regulations--safety, economic, and reliability--and will conclude with discussion of challenges for the future"-- Provided by publisher.
