New material addresses transmission investment cost allocation, generation investment challenges in energy-only markets, and system operator tools including SCED and SCUC. A new chapter on retail markets covers prosumer interactions, flexible consumers, and energy equity.
The book also includes:
- Reorganized structure covering fundamental principles, short-term operational economics, and long-term investment economics across three distinct parts
- Detailed analysis of wholesale market structures including demand-side bidding mechanisms and examples showing different renewable generation proportions
- Coverage of transmission network integration with system operator responsibilities and optimal power flow methodologies explained in monopoly contexts
- Discussion of retail electricity tariffs for residential and commercial consumers alongside emerging prosumer business models and flexibility services
- Extensive end-of-chapter exercises and discussion points designed to reinforce concepts and enhance understanding of complex market dynamics
