A free Windows program for teaching power quality concepts is presented. The program uses interactive graphs and controls. Concepts include fundamental and reactive power, sequence vectors, voltage dip effects on single-phase and threephase rectifier loads, flicker, harmonic concepts, harmonic power flow, harmonic sequencing, and distortion and source impedance. The program operates in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian, Swedish, and Polish, with Japanese and Malaysian expected soon.Maiores informacoes: http://www.powerstandards.com/PQTeachingToyIndex.htm The new edition of "Power System Analysis And Design" provides students with an introduction to the basic concepts of power systems along with tools to aid them in applying these skills to real world situations. Physical concepts are highlighted while also giving necessary attention to mathematical techniques. Both theory and modeling are developed from simple beginnings so that they can be readily extended to new and complex situations. The authors incorporate new tools and material to aid students with design issues and reflect recent trends in the field.Maiores informacoes: amazon.co.uk This book on power quality written by experts from industries and academics from various counties will be of great benefit to professionals, engineers and researchers.
