Neutral Earthing Method Selection and Earth Fault Handling for Substations in the Distribution Networks
Theodor Connor, Tony Yip, Hugh Borland, Gert Madonsela, Bill Carman, Espen Masvik, Bruno Ceresoli, Fazel Mohammadi, Gernot Druml, Mark Osborne, Christian Ehlert, Bingyin Xu, Lothar Fickert, and Kristine Valentinsen
The method of neutral earthing selected for a galvanic separated network is decisive for the supply reliability and safety of operation. It has a large impact on details in substation design. The report gives classification of methods and required equipment for fault protection, localisation as well as detailed equipment design and selection. Furthermore, the worldwide practise is reflected in the results of a worldwide survey.

Interdependence and Security of Cyber-Physical Power System (CPPS)
Q. Guo, L. Xu, U. Adhikari, G. Azevedo, Y. Chen, J. Csatár, J. Feijoo-Martínez, G. Giraud, J. Huang, S. Li, K. Manyapetsa, V. Meneguim, Fazel Mohammadi, W. Zhu, A. Louh, S. Jia, and N. Tian
This Technical Brochure examines the interdependence and security of Cyber-Physical Power Systems (CPPSs), where electric power infrastructure is increasingly integrated with communication, computation, control, and social systems. It explains how cyber and physical domains interact through facilities, topologies, and functions, and how these interactions can create new vulnerabilities under natural hazards, cyber threats and coupling failures. The Technical Brochure reviews integrated modelling methods, cybersecurity threats and countermeasures, resilience-oriented planning and operation, cross-domain simulation tools, and cyber-physical-social frameworks. It provides CIGRE members and industry stakeholders with a structured foundation for understanding, assessing, and strengthening secure and resilient CPPSs.

Application of 3D Technologies in Substation Engineering Works
Eduard Philip König, Samuel Nguefeu, Wolfgang Eyrich, David Bianco, Antun Foškulo, Assefa Hana, Giovani Braga, Hugh Cunningham, Nuno Correia, Joao Gomes-Mota, Todd Margitich, Fazel Mohammadi, Gerd Lingner, Mark Peffer, Juan Piñeros, Shigeyuki Tsukao, Johan Smit, Prapon Somboonyanon, Daniel Mui, Erik Groot, François Romain, Sergio Feitoza Costa, Rod Hughes, Koji Kawakita, Khalid Almutairi, Alex Baitch, Andrey Epifanov, Shinki Noguchi, Simon Odie, Mark Osborne, Mohit Misra, Toshifumi Sugimoto, and Hubert Müller
The engineering of high-voltage substations has long relied on 2D drawings as the primary carrier of design intent. While widely understood, this approach carries structural limitations. Errors propagate silently across disciplines, design data must be manually re-keyed at every project handover, and the drawing itself carries no queryable information beyond what is visible on the page. These are not problems of draftsmanship — they are the inherent limits of a process built on 2D representations of an inherently three-dimensional asset.
CIGRE Working Group B3.56 was established to document the state of the art in 3D and BIM-based digital transformation of substation engineering, and to provide practical guidance for utilities and engineering organisations seeking to advance their digital capability. This tutorial presents the key findings and recommendations of the resulting Technical Brochure.
The tutorial is structured around nine themes:
- The motivation for change;
- The data quality challenge that geometric 3D alone does not resolve;
- The target picture and maturity journey from 2D drafting to Digital Twin;
- S-BIM as the integration platform linking CAD, CAE, Scan2BIM/Scan2Twin, GIS and procurement in a Single Source of Truth;
- VR/AR applications for safety and operational training;
- The CAx technology toolchain;
- AI-assisted design and inventory workflows;
- Digital Twin architecture and lifecycle applications;
- Key conclusions and recommendations including the establishment of Data Quality Management frameworks with explicit validation gates.
The brochure draws on an international survey of utility practice, contribution cases from member organisations, and the collective expertise of a working group spanning eleven countries. Its central argument is that the shift from geometric 3D to information-rich S-BIM — with data quality assured at source — is the non-negotiable prerequisite for realising the full potential of AI-assisted design and automated grid operations.

Exploring C++
Alice E. Fischer
This book is intended for use by students who hope to deepen their understanding of C++ and learn about advanced features. It is also useful for C or Java programmers who want to learn C++ and OO style . . . fast. It assumes that the reader knows basic programming including types, type-matching rules, control structures, functions, arrays, pointers, and simple data structures. The material should help you develop a deeper understanding of the implementation of C++, of clean program design and of the features that make C++ a powerful and flexible language.

Clarity, Organization, Precision, Economy: A Technical Writing Guide for Engineers
David J. Adams and University of New Haven
This fourth edition of COPE was sparked by my involvement with PITCH (Project to Integrate Technical Communication Habits) at the Tagliatela College of Engineering at the University of New Haven. This new edition contains additional material on data displays, as well as some additional material on writing about data—including how to avoid rhetorical shifts that undermine the precision of a technical report.

The Anatomy of Programming Languages
Alice E. Fischer and Frances S. Grodzinsky
The specific goals of this book are to help students learn: *To reason clearly about programming languages. *To develop principles of communication so that we can evaluate the wisdom and utility of the decisions made in the process of language design. *To break down language into its major components, and each component in to small pieces so that we can focus on competing alternatives. *To define a consistent and general set of terms for the components out of which programming languages are built, and the concepts on which they are based. * To use these terms to describe existing languages, and in so doing clarify the conflicting terminology used by the language designers, and untangle the complexities inherent in so many languages. *To see below the surface appearance of a language to its actual structure and descriptive power. *To understand that many language features that commonly occur together are, in fact, independent and separable. *To appreciate the advantages and disadvantages of each feature. *To suggest ways in which these basic building blocks can be recombined in new languages with more desirable properties and fewer faults. *To see the similarities and differences that exist among languages students already know, and to learn new ones. To use the understanding so gained to suggest future trends in language design.
