Power Generation Operation And Control

Power Generation, Operation, and Control

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

POWER GENERATION OPERATION & CONTROL, 2ND ED (With CD )

Market_Desc: · Advanced Undergraduate and Graduate Engineering Students Special Features: · Emphasize on the transmission network and its effects on power system operation· Uses applied optimization methods to solve practical and important economic problems About The Book: This updated introductory textbook covers the most important developments that are taking place in the electric power industry. Although the topic areas and depth of coverage remain about the same, this edition provides a more complete treatment of the power flow-based techniques in a new chapter which deals with optimal power flow. The discussion on unit commitment has been expanded to include the LaGrange relaxation approach. The chapter on interchange transactions provides students with an appreciation of the complications that may accompany a competitive market for the generation of electric energy. Sections on security analysis have been updated to incorporate the use of bounding and other contingency selection methods.
