Optimization
Advances in Electric Power Systems
Editor: Edgardo D. Castronuovo,
Carlos III de Madrid University
Optimization is
the systemized search for the best action, the procedure used to make a system
as effective or functional as possible. In the last two decades, optimization
techniques have extended in the electric industry.
The present book
includes some of the most significant present and foreseen optimization
applications in electric power systems. Four Fellow Members of IEEE and other
relevant academia and industry authors develop optimization techniques in the
following areas: state estimation, transmission expansion planning, electricity
markets, voltage control, wind power, security stability, optimal placement of
equipments, distributed generation and others. All the chapters include
algorithms, methods, know-how and examples of applications in real and test
systems.
This book is intended for a wide audience, including researchers
and practitioners. Electrical engineers in the industry can use it to
understand implemented optimization tools, to know practical solutions applied
in other places and, possibly, to evaluate their available operational tools.
As educational tool, it can be used in undergraduate courses of Optimization,
Electric Power Systems, Economy of the Energy, Technology of the Energy,
Electric Power Markets and others. Likewise, this book can integrate the basis
of the graduate course of Optimization in Electric Power Systems.
