The Book presents in-depth Knowledge about the principles and practices of Modern Power System Engineering. It gives an Integrated approach to the complex phenomena related with Switchgear, Protection, Fault-Calculations, Power System Analysis-Operation-Control-Automation, Digital Relays, Micro-processor based Relays and Microprocessor based Integrated Control and Protection Systems, Energy Systems, Electrical Safety and Applications of Switchgear.
With many advancement taking place in the field, old conventional protection and switching Devices have been retained in brief along with new type of devices and techniques.

The Technology of protection and Automation have been revolutionized by the introduction of microprocessor based combined protection, control, monitoring systems. Such systems have been introduced for substation protection, generator protection, HVDC protection. This book covers the principles and applications of this latest technology, along with the Principles of Artificial Intelligence and Expert Systems.
