Power System Operation

by Allen J. Wood

Power System OperationA translation of the third edition of Power Generation, Operation & Control has finally been published. This book, enthusiastically accepted as an authentic textbook in the field of power systems, opens up a new chapter in the operation of the latest power systems to engineers and students majoring in this field. The purpose of this book is to develop the subject of engineering and economics related to the planning, operation, power generation and control of electric power systems, and ultimately enable readers to develop their ability to apply optimization techniques to critical industrial systems. This third edition has been drastically revised to reflect new content that has changed in about 17 years since the second edition was published. The third edition emphasizes the engineering and economics aspects of power system operation, introduces new optimization techniques to deal with real power system operation problems, and introduces end features of firepower and hydropower generators. As a result, readers will find a variety of algorithms and techniques to integrate economics, network theory, and power generation systems, as well as new techniques for power system analysis, power system operation and control.
