Though this book on GIS is new, there is quite a long history of how it all began. Initially, and
many years back, the technical leads involved in developing GIS industry standards for IEEE
assembled a tutorial and presented it at key IEEE meetings and conferences. The popularity with engineers and industry was quite inspiring so the presentations continued. After each occasion, the contributing authors purposely requested helpful feedback from the attendees.This way, the technical material and information flow was improved and finetuned before the next presentation.
After many years, with an effective, polished product in place, the demand arose to
re-package this entire knowledge into one valuable book. And so these technical experts
under the leadership of Hermann Koch have purposefully congregated and endeavored to
assemble this excellent industry reference book for GIS. It is a comprehensive collection
which expands on the knowledge and understanding well beyond any other GIS information currently available in industry book.
It begins with basic information on definitions, the physics of GIS, reliability, design
principles, safety aspects, decision factors, and SF6 gas. There is a substantive chapter on the
technology of the design, modular components, manufacturing, specification development,instrument transformers and arresters, interfaces, and the bus system alternatives. Then it proceeds into detailed chapters on control and monitoring, testing, installation, and operation
and maintenance. This is followed by a chapter providing numerous bus scheme applications,many installation examples, and a case study. This chapter closes with additional information on mobile and mixed technology switchgear (MTS) applications, and future developments.The final chapter addresses other valuable topics including environmental, lifecycle cost analysis, very fast transients, and electromagnetic fields.
This GIS book addresses an impressive amount of involved aspects of the GIS technology,design and application. I am very pleased this book is now available for all the existing power engineers utilizing the advantages of GIS installations, the concerned policymakers and utility leaders, and for students and the generations to come. And I’m also honored to have shared my engineering career with these GIS colleagues who have so generously volunteered their time and energy for the benefit of others.
