With the advent of deregulation of the electric power industry, understanding optimal power flow, locational marginal prices, and the auction of hedging instruments is necessary. All of these involve linear and nonlinear optimization. This book educates the reader about the practical applications of algorithms using Microsoft Excel solver.

This book answers the need for a practical, hands-on guide for assessing power stability in real time, rather than in offline simulations. Since the book is primarily geared toward the practical aspects of the subject, theoretical background is reduced to the strictest minimum.

Adapted and updated from the author's classic Electric Power System Design and Analysis, with new material designed for the undergraduate student and professionals new to Power Engineering Each chapter features examples of solved problems as well as problems for students to solve on their own.

Written from a practicing engineer's point of view by one of the pioneers who developed the technology, FACTS Controllers provides a solid foundation to the basics of Flexible Alternating Current Transmission Systems (FACTS).

The design of inverters employing Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) to vary the voltage and amplitude of power electronic inverters has evolved over the past forty years. This is the first comprehensive textbook to view the subject as a whole and to clarify and unify the many diverse approaches taken by researchers.

Rating of Electric Power Cables in Unfavorable Thermal Environment is the first text to provide you with the computational tools and techniques needed to successfully design and install power cables in areas affected by such factors as outside heat sources, ground moisture, or impediments to heat dissipation.

Written originally as a manual for the Federal Energy Commission to train regional rate regulators, this is a clear, comprehensive primer on the principles of economics and finance underlying the regulation of electricity markets and the deregulation of electricity generation.

Several heuristic tools have emerged in the last decade, facilitating solutions to optimization problems that were previously difficult or impossible to solve. Compared with traditional approaches, these tools offer more robust systems and greatly shorten development time as well.

A systematic reporting of all aspects of the electric power field, including coverage of both hydro- and thermal-generating plants. This work provides coverage of both static and dynamic operations of power systems. It presents a global perspective from both an academic and industrial point of view.

Gain an understanding of the inspection of large synchronous machines, generators, condensers, and motors! This text describes each component of the machine, operational functions, typical design features, and tell-tale signs that indicate each mode of failure. Compact with photos, graphs, commonly-used inspection forms, along with extensive references for each topic, INSPECTION OF LARGE SYNCHRONOUS MACHINES is an excellent tool for operators, inspectors, and student engineers.
