Synopsis

Since publication of the second edition, there have been extensive changes in the algorithms, methods, and assumptions in energy management systems that analyze and control power generation. This edition is updated to acquaint electrical engineering students and professionals with current power generation systems. Algorithms and methods for solving integrated economic, network, and generating system analysis are provided. Also included are the state–of–the–art topics undergoing evolutionary change, including market simulation, multiple market analysis, multiple interchange contract analysis, contract and market bidding, and asset valuation under various portfolio combinations.

About this title

Review

Without a doubt, this book makes admirable progress in integrating the ­traditional with the new, and, as such, it is a worthy addition to professional libraries. It is a valuable text for a one– or two–course sequence in a graduate curriculum in power systems. Reasonable resource support for both student and instructor is available through the publisher.   (IEEE, 1 July 2014)

 

From the Back Cover

A thoroughly revised new edition of the definitive work on power systems best practices

In this eagerly awaited new edition, Power Generation, Operation, and Control continues to provide engineers and academics with a complete picture of the techniques used in modern power system operation. Long recognized as the standard reference in the field, the book has been thoroughly updated to reflect the enormous changes that have taken place in the electric power industry since the Second Edition was published seventeen years ago.

With an emphasis on both the engineering and economic aspects of energy management, the Third Edition introduces central "terminal" characteristics for thermal and hydroelectric power generation systems, along with new optimization techniques for tackling real–world operating problems. Readers will find a range of algorithms and methods for performing integrated economic, network, and generating system analysis, as well as modern methods for power system analysis, operation, and control. Special features include:

• State–of–the–art topics such as market simulation, multiple market analysis, contract and market bidding, and other business topics
• Chapters on generation with limited energy supply, power flow control, power system security, and more
• An introduction to regulatory issues, renewable energy, and other evolving topics
• New worked examples and end–of–chapter problems
• A companion website with additional materials, including MATLAB programs and power system sample data sets
