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.
