Synopsis

Uncertainties in Modern Power Systems combines several aspects of uncertainty management in power systems at the planning and operation stages within an integrated framework. This book provides the state-of-the-art in electric network planning, including time-scales, reliability, quality, optimal allocation of compensators and distributed generators, mathematical formulation, and search algorithms. The book introduces innovative research outcomes, programs, algorithms, and approaches that consolidate the present status and future opportunities and challenges of power systems. The book also offers a comprehensive description of the overall process in terms of understanding, creating, data gathering, and managing complex electrical engineering applications with uncertainties.

This reference is useful for researchers, engineers, and operators in power distribution systems.

• Includes innovative research outcomes, programs, algorithms, and approaches that consolidate current status and future of modern power systems
• Discusses how uncertainties will impact on the performance of power systems
• Offers solutions to significant challenges in power systems planning to achieve the best operational performance of the different electric power sectors
