Free Download | Optimization of Power System Operation

The electric power industry is being relentlessly pressured by governments, politicians, large industries, and investors to privatize, restructure, and deregulate. Before deregulation, most elements of the power industry, such as power generation, bulk power sales, capital expenditures, and investment decisions, were heavily regulated. Some of these regulations were at the state level, and some at the national level. Thus new deregulation in the power industry meant new challenges and huge changes. However, despite changes in different structures, market rules, and uncertainties, the underlying requirements for power system operations to be secure, economical, and reliable remain the same.  This book attempts to cover all areas of power systems operation. It also introduces some new topics and new applications of the latest new technologies that have appeared in recent years. This includes the analysis and discussion of new techniques for solving the old problems and the new problems that are arising from deregulation.
