Power Generation, Operation and Control
(This book introduces undergraduates/graduates majoring in...)
This book introduces undergraduates/graduates majoring in electrical engineering to the economic and engineering aspects used in the planning, operating and controlling of power generation and transmission systems for electric utilities. It presents advanced mathematical and operations research methods used for electric power engineering problems, and covers methods currently applied in the control and operation of electric power generation systems.

Power Generation Operation & Control with Disk
(This updated introductory textbook covers the most import...)
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. · characteristics of power generation units · economic dispatch of thermal units and methods of solution · transmission system effects · unit commitment · generation with limited energy supply · hydrothermal coordination · production cost models · control of generation · interchange of power and energy · power system security · an introduction to state estimation in power systems · optimal power flow

Power-System Reliability Calculations
(The five chapters of this book collect and illustrate tec...)
The five chapters of this book collect and illustrate techniques that have been applied to the prediction of reliability and availability of the various specific segments of an electric power system. The text emphasizes the numerical procedures employed in making these reliability and availability predictions. Other related criteria that have been put forward in the literature, such as adequacy, dependability, and security, are also introduced and defined as needed and as applied in specific contexts. The book opens with a discussion of reliability and availability applications to transmission and distribution systems, treating independent component outages and their effects on the continuity of supply. It then takes up models for generation planning and proceeds to the area of bulk power supply system reliability evaluation, offering methods for prediction of composite reliability of the generation and transmission systems. A final chapter extends the study into operating reliability assessments concerned with reserve problems: It considers the adequacy of the generating system to meet forecasted loads a short period ahead. Professor Billinton is in the Electrical Engineering Department at the University of Saskatchewan. Drs. Ringlee and Wood are with Power Technologies Inc. Their book is the sixth in the Modern Electrical Technology series, edited by Alexander Kusko.

Power Generation, Operation and Control
(Since publication of the second edition, there have been ...)
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. Algorithms and methods for solving integrated economic, network, and generating system analysis are provided. Also included are the state-of-the-art topics undergoing evolutionary change, including market simulation, multiple market analysis, multiple interchange contract analysis, contract and market bidding, and asset valuation under various portfolio combinations.
