Book Hero Magic created this recommendation. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! IS THIS YOUR NEXT READ?

This book is ideal for engineering professionals, academics, and graduate students focused on power systems, energy management, and electrical engineering.

Since publication of the second edition, there have been extensive changes in the algorithms, methods, and assumptions in energy management systems that analyze and control power generation. This edition is updated to acquaint electrical engineering students and professionals with current power generation systems.

Description

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 recognised 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 optimisation 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

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

IEEE praises the book for effectively integrating traditional and modern practices, deeming it a valuable resource for graduate-level power systems courses with solid support materials for both students and instructors.
