Description

This book applies the latest applications of new technologies to power system operation and analysis, including new and important areas that are not covered in the previous edition.

Optimization of Power System Operation covers both traditional and modern technologies, including power flow analysis, steady-state security region analysis, security constrained economic dispatch, multi-area system economic dispatch, unit commitment, optimal power flow, smart grid operation, optimal load shed, optimal reconfiguration of distribution network, power system uncertainty analysis, power system sensitivity analysis, analytic hierarchical process, neural network, fuzzy theory, genetic algorithm, evolutionary programming, and particle swarm optimization, among others.  New topics such as the wheeling model, multi-area wheeling, the total transfer capability computation in multiple areas, are also addressed. 

The new edition of this book continues to provide engineers and academics with a complete picture of the optimization of techniques used in power system operation, several important additions have been made.

  • Addresses advanced methods and optimization technologies and their applications in power systems
  • New chapters include: Steady State Security Regions, Optimal Load Shedding, Optimal Reconfiguration of Electric Distribution Network, and Uncertainty Analysis in Power Systems
  • New hot topics covered in detail include: Application of Renewable Energy and Operation of Smart Grid
  • End-of-chapter exercises added

Some contents are analyzed and discussed for the first time in detail in this book. Power engineers, operators, and planners will be able to benefit from this insightful source, as well as advanced undergraduate and graduate students.
