A thoroughly revised new edition of the definitive work onpower systems best practices
In this eagerly awaited new edition, Power Generation,Operation, and Control continues to provide engineers andacademics with a complete picture of the techniques used in modernpower system operation. Long recognized as the standard referencein the field, the book has been thoroughly updated to reflect theenormous changes that have taken place in the electric powerindustry since the Second Edition was published seventeen yearsago.
With an emphasis on both the engineering and economic aspects ofenergy management, the Third Edition introduces central"terminal" characteristics for thermal and hydroelectric powergeneration systems, along with new optimization techniques fortackling real-world operating problems. Readers will find a rangeof algorithms and methods for performing integrated economic,network, and generating system analysis, as well as modern methodsfor power system analysis, operation, and control. Special featuresinclude:
* State-of-the-art topics such as market simulation, multiplemarket analysis, contract and market bidding, and other businesstopics
* Chapters on generation with limited energy supply, power flowcontrol, power system security, and more
* An introduction to regulatory issues, renewable energy, andother evolving topics
* New worked examples and end-of-chapter problems
* A companion website with additional materials, including MATLABprograms and power system sample data sets

"Without a doubt, this book makes admirable progress inintegrating the -traditional with the new, and, as such, it isa worthy addition to professional libraries. It is a valuable textfor a one- or two-course sequence in a graduate curriculum in powersystems. Reasonable resource support for both student andinstructor is available through the publisher."
