Power System Operations

  • Offers textbook coverage, integrating power systems operations and economics
  • Uses an up-to-date approach, with effective methodologies to solve current power system operation problems
  • Enables students with limited background in power systems to comprehend both power system operation problems and electricity markets
  • Walks the reader through the trade-offs of economics vs. security, as operation problems move from day-ahead to several minutes prior to power delivery
  • Replaces “manual” calculations with the use of modern software, uses solved examples to introduce new concepts and exercises to test mastery of them
  • Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

Part of the book series: Power Electronics and Power Systems (PEPS)

About this book

This textbook provides a detailed description of operation problems in power systems, including power system modeling, power system steady-state operations, power system state estimation, and electricity markets. The book provides an appropriate blend of theoretical background and practical applications, which are developed as working algorithms, coded in Octave (or Matlab) and GAMS environments.  This feature strengthens the usefulness of the book for both students and practitioners. Students will gain an insightful understanding of current power system operation problems in engineering, including: (i) the formulation of decision-making models, (ii) the familiarization with efficient solution algorithms for such models, and (iii) insights into these problems through the detailed analysis of numerous illustrative examples. The authors use a modern, “building-block” approach to solving complex problems, making the topic accessible to students with limited background in power systems. Solved examples are used to introduce new concepts and each chapter ends with a set of exercises.
