Abstract

Electrical power systems have not changed in essence since their first appearance more than a hundred years ago. In the design and construction of power transformers, motors, generators, cables, and transmission lines, it is better to speak of evolution rather than revolution. But a lot of advanced technologies and techniques are applied in today’s power system.
