Alstom Grid has launched an updated version of its well respected "Network Protection and
Automation Guide" (NPAG), a comprehensive 500 page technical reference textbook which offers
protection engineers and technicians the latest information and advice on protective relays,
measurement and control. For this 5th edition of the NPAG, Alstom Grid has capitalised on its pool
of substation automation experts at its global Centre of Excellence in Stafford, United Kingdom.

Additional chapters include guidance on system integrity protection and remedial action schemes,
phasor measurements and wide area schemes. New information is also available in the guide for
the first time on digital substations, including IEC 61850, Ethernet station bus and precision time
synchronising, reflecting new developments and advances in technology.

Hervé Amossé, Vice-President, Substation Automation Solutions, Alstom Grid said, “We are proud
to offer an updated and impartial reference guide for those working within the network protection
and automation field. This is part of our effort to continually share Alstom Grid’s knowledge and
expertise within the industry and technical institutions
.”

The book also serves as key reference for the international delegates at Alstom’s Annual
Application and Protection of Power Systems (APPS) training courses, which Alstom Grid has been
running for more than 50 years. The APPS courses are also regularly updated along with the
textbook, ensuring attendees receive the latest and most up-to-date guidance on the topic.
