To address the pressing need for an up-to-date and comprehensive treatment of the subject, Kim, Sood, Jang, Lim and Lee have collaborated to produce this key text and reference. Combining classroom-tested materials from North America and Asia, HVDC Transmission compactly summarizes the latest research results, and includes the insights of experts from power systems, power electronics, and simulation backgrounds. The authors walk readers through basic theory and practical applications, while also providing the broader historical context and future development of HVDC technology.
Balancing theoretical instruction with practical application, HVDC Transmission delivers comprehensive working knowledge to power utility engineers, power transmission researchers, and advanced undergraduates and postgraduates in power engineering programs. The book is also a useful reference to for engineers and students focused on closely related areas such as renewable energy and power system planning.
Vijay Sood is an Adjunct Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Concordia University and Researcher at Institut de recherche d’Hydro-Québec (IREQ). He has been teaching courses in HVDC Transmission and Power Electronics since 198. Sood is a Senior Member of the IEEE, a Fellow of the Engineering Institute of Canada (EIC), and a recipient of numerous awards from the IEEE, the Ordre des ingènieurs du Québec, and industry. He was the Associate and Managing Editor for the IEEE Canadian Review, and is currently an Associate Editor for Control Engineering Practice and the Canadian Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering. He has published over 70 papers in international journals and conferences, along with book authorship and chapter contribution. He holds a B.Sc. from University of Nairobi, Kenya, a M.Sc. in Electrical Machines from University of Strathclyde, and a Ph.D. in Power Electronics from University of Bradford.
