Читать книгу Gas Insulated Substations - Группа авторов - Страница 11

Many years in the making, it is a pleasure to see the second edition of the Gas‐Insulated Substations (GIS) Handbook being published. The countless hours of many to review, update, and revise the first edition has brought you a more complete and up‐to‐date glimpse of what is happening in the GIS industry.

Having been involved in many of the committee meetings, where experts of all different backgrounds and companies have met, it is always a great pleasure that these technical leaders can sit down, under the leadership of Dr. Hermann J. Koch, and work through an expansive and broad topic. Even trying to forecast by covering Advanced Technologies – and where this equipment may be used in the future and for what reasons. There are also plenty of sample projects that hopefully the reader can relate to and can use that information to help in his or her own project.

From basic information about GIS, to the different GIS instrument transformers, to the connection types to other pieces of electrical equipment, this book runs the gambit, making sure to inform the reader of all the critical aspects that should be paid attention to during the design of the GIS substation. It has over 100 years of the authors’ in‐depth expert‐level knowledge in this book. Being part of this community has been an honor and look forward to many more years.

It does sadden me that during the publication of this book, we had lost one of the authors to a tragic accident. Dr. Xi Zhu passed away on 29 May 2021. He personally has over 30 years of High Voltage research and development and was an IEEE Senior member and CIGRE member. His impact in the committee meetings will be sincerely missed.
