Communication and Control in Electric Power Systems / Wiley - IEEE Bd.1 (PDF)

The first extensive reference on these important techniques

The restructuring of the electric utility industry has created
the need for a mechanism that can effectively coordinate the
various entities in a power market, enabling them to communicate
efficiently and perform at an optimal level. Communication and
Control in Electric Power Systems, the first resource to
address its subject in an extended format, introduces parallel and
distributed processing techniques as a compelling solution to this
critical problem.

Drawing on their years of experience in the industry, Mohammad
Shahidehpour and Yaoyu Wang deliver comprehensive coverage of
parallel and distributed processing techniques with a focus on
power system optimization, control, and communication. The authors
begin with theoretical background and an overview of the
increasingly deregulated power market, then move quickly into the
practical applications and implementations of these pivotal
techniques.

Chapters include:

* Integrated Control Center Information

* Parallel and Distributed Computation of Power Systems

* Common Information Model and Middleware for Integration

* Online Distributed Security Assessment and Control

* Integration, Control, and Operation of Distributed
Generation

* Agent Theory and Power Systems Management

* e-Commerce of Electricity

A ready resource for both students and practitioners,
Communication and Control in Electric Power Systems proves
an ideal textbook for first-year graduate students in power
engineering with an interest in computer communication systems and
control center design. Designers, operators, planners, and
researchers will likewise appreciate its unique contribution to the
professional literature.
