Operation of Market-Oriented Power Systems

Internationally, the electric power industry is currently undergoing unprecedented reform. Power utilities need efficient tools to ensure that electrical energy of the quality desired can be provided at the lowest possible cost. Operation of Market-oriented Power Systems provides effective computational tools for the efficient operation of restructured power systems covering all the major operational issues such as:
• congestion management;
• available transfer capability calculations;
• price forecasting and optimal bidding strategies;
• a review of international research and world-wide industrial practice covered in each chapter gives the reader a broader understanding of the state of the art in this exciting field.
