A comprehensive text on the operation and control of powergeneration and transmission systems
In the ten years since Allen J. Wood and Bruce F. Wollenbergpresented their comprehensive introduction to the engineering andeconomic factors involved in operating and controlling powergeneration systems in electric utilities, the electric powerindustry has undergone unprecedented change. Deregulation, openaccess to transmission systems, and the birth of independent powerproducers have altered the structure of the industry, whiletechnological advances have created a host of new opportunities andchallenges.
In Power Generation, Operation, and Control, Second Edition, Woodand Wollenberg bring professionals and students alike up to date onthe nuts and bolts of the field. Continuing in the tradition of thefirst edition, they offer a practical, hands-on guide totheoretical developments and to the application of advancedoperations research methods to realistic electric power engineeringproblems. This one-of-a-kind text also addresses the interactionbetween human and economic factors to prepare readers to makereal-world decisions that go beyond the limits of mere technicalcalculations.
The Second Edition features vital new material, including:
* A computer disk developed by the authors to help readers solvecomplicated problems
* Examination of Optimal Power Flow (OPF)
* Treatment of unit commitment expanded to incorporate the Lagrangerelaxation technique
* Introduction to the use of bounding techniques and othercontingency selection methods
* Applications suited to the new, deregulated systems as well as tothe traditional, vertically organized utilities company
Wood and Wollenberg draw upon nearly 30 years of classroom testingto provide valuable data on operations research, state estimationmethods, fuel scheduling techniques, and more. Designed for clarityand ease of use, this invaluable reference prepares industryprofessionals and students to meet the future challenges of powergeneration, operation, and control.
