EPRI Color Books

Just heard about Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI)'s color books series. They refer to various fields of electrical power transmission and are exorbitantly priced. The Red book is listed at $4750! No wonder people go for pirated copies. Why information should be kept at a premium is hard to understand. The following are the full list of publications in this series.

1. Olive Book - HVDC Transmission Reference Book (2010)
2. Copper Book - Power Transformer Guidebook (2014)
3. Green Book - Underground Transmission Systems Reference Book
4. Red Book - AC Transmission Line Reference Book: 200 kV and Above (2005)
5. Orange Book - Transmission Line Reference Book: Wind-induced Conductor Motion
6. Yellow Book - Overhead Transmission Inspection and Assessment Guidelines
7. Blue Book - Transmission Line Reference Book: 115 - 345 kV
8. Light Blue Book - Power System Dynamics Tutorial
9. Teal Book - Best Practices and Life Extension Guidelines for Substations
10. Maroon Book - Fault Current Management Guidebook (2008)
11. Platinum Book - Increased Power Flow Reference Book (2008)
12. Bronze Book - Underground Distribution Systems Reference Book (2009)
13. Gold Book - Power Electronics based Transmission Controllers Reference Book (2009)
14. Grey Book - Overhead Transmission Grounding Guide (2009)
15. Tan Book - Live Working Reference Book (2009)

Antonio, unfortunately I can't support requests for pirated books or software. You may do an online search and get it easily (about 50-70 MB) in the very first Google page.
