Short Circuiting Policy
Author: Leah Cardamore StokesPublisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0190074280
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 337
Book Description
In 1999, Texas passed a landmark clean energy law, beginning a groundswell of new policies that promised to make the US a world leader in renewable energy. As Leah Stokes shows in Short Circuiting Policy, however, that policy did not lead to momentum in Texas, which failed to implement its solar laws or clean up its electricity system. Examining clean energy laws in Texas, Kansas, Arizona, and Ohio over a thirty-year time frame, Stokes argues that organized combat between advocate and opponent interest groups is central to explaining why states are not on track to address the climate crisis. She tells the political history of our energy institutions, explaining how fossil fuel companies and electric utilities have promoted climate denial and delay. Stokes further explains the limits of policy feedback theory, showing the ways that interest groups drive retrenchment through lobbying, public opinion, political parties and the courts. More than a history of renewable energy policy in modern America, Short Circuiting Policy offers a bold new argument about how the policy process works, and why seeming victories can turn into losses when the opposition has enough resources to roll back laws.
Short Circuit
Author: R. J. DouthwaitePublisher: Dufour Editions
ISBN: 9781874675600
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 404
Book Description
With the deregulation of international trade and a free movement of capital, the world economy is more unstable than ever. This work is written from a perspective which suggests that the world economy is liable to collapse, and as such it cannot be relied upon to provide all the goods, food, fuel and services required to live. The book argues that each community should develop an independent economy capable of restoring full employment to its area and ensuring the supply of goods and services should the mainstream economy collapse. It demonstrates how this could be done by supplying details of local energy-generation, currency, banking and food-supply systems, as well as detailing case studies of local communities at work in Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, Australia, the USA, Britain and Ireland.
Short Circuits in Power Systems
Author: Ismail KasikciPublisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 3527341366
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 312
Book Description
Reflecting the changes to the all-important short circuit calculations in three-phase power systems according to IEC 60909-0 standard, this new edition of the practical guide retains its proven and unique concept of explanations, calculations and real-life examples of short circuits in electrical networks. It has also been completely revised and expanded by 20% to include the standard-compliant prevention of short circuits in electrical networks for photovoltaics and wind energy. By understanding the theory any software allows users to perform all the necessary calculations with ease so they can work on the design and application of low- and high-voltage power systems. This book is a practitioner's guide intended for students, electrical engineers, engineers in power technology, the electrotechnical industry, engineering consultants, energy suppliers, chemical engineers and physicists in industry.
Short-Circuits in AC and DC Systems
Author: J. C. DasPublisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 135123076X
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 829
Book Description
This book provides an understanding of the nature of short-circuit currents, current interruption theories, circuit breaker types, calculations according to ANSI/IEEE and IEC standards, theoretical and practical basis of short-circuit current sources, and the rating structure of switching devices. The book aims to explain the nature of short-circuit currents, the symmetrical components for unsymmetrical faults, and matrix methods of solutions, which are invariably used on digital computers. It includes innovations, worked examples, case studies, and solved problems.

Author: Jürgen SchlabbachA Practical Guide to Short-circuit Current Calculations
Author: Conrad St. PierrePublisher:
ISBN: 9780971750609
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 557
Book Description
A Practical Guide to Short-Circuit Calculations put just about everything needed for short-circuit calculations in one 520 page reference. Descriptions and sample calculations are provided for ANSI and IEC methods. Once the calculations are done, comparing these results with the equipment rating is explained. While the book does cover some of the fundamental of short circuits, it main purpose is to get correct answers quickly for the application of equipment. The appendix has over 200 pages of data on cables, busway, machines, and transformers. Cable impedances up to 34.5 kV are given for both AWG and mm2 sizes. "I did a quick review of the book last weekend and was impressed by both the content and organization. There are many handy hints and examples and a comprehensive listing of equipment ratings. This is the first time I have seen it all in one nice text and consider this a 'must have' reference for any serious power system engineer." (FJA, PE). "The cover's printing and material are quality stuff. Just thumbed through a number of pages and it reads very easy, the print is right, the layout right, the graphics are real good." (JDJ, PE)
