Abstract
In this introductory chapter, we present structures of modern power generation and network systems that include conventional power generation technologies, new and renewable generation technologies such as wind power and solar photovoltaic generation plant and distributed renewable energy resources. We then discuss the need for power system fault analysis and the characteristics of faults, introduce the important terminology of fault current waveform, and the thermal and mechanical effects of fault currents in power systems. Practical per-unit analysis of single-phase and three-phase power systems is presented, including the base and per-unit equations of self and mutual impedances and admittances.
