Power system operation from an operator'sperspective
Power systems are operated with the primary objectives ofsafety, reliability, and efficiency. Practical Power SystemOperation is the first book to provide a comprehensive pictureof power system operation for both professional engineers andstudents alike. The book systematically describes theoperator's functions, the processes required to operate thesystem, and the enabling technology solutions deployed tofacilitate the processes. In his book, Dr. Ebrahim Vaahedi, anexpert practitioner in the field, presents a holistic reviewof:
* The current state and workings of power system operation
* Problems encountered by operators and solutions to remedy theproblems
* Individual operator functions, processes, and the enablingtechnology solutions
* Deployment of real-time assessment, control, and optimizationsolutions in power system operation
* Energy Management Systems and their architecture
* Distribution Management Systems and their architecture
* Power system operation in the changing energy industrylandscape and the evolving technology solutions
Because power system operation is such a critical functionaround the world, the consequences of improper operation range fromfinancial repercussions to societal welfare impacts that putpeople's safety at risk. Practical Power SystemOperation includes a step-by-step illustrated guide to theoperator functions, processes, and decision support tools thatenable the processes. As a bonus, it includes a detailed review ofthe emerging technology and operation solutions that have evolvedover the last few years. Written to the standards of highereducation and university curriculums, Practical Power SystemOperation has been classroom tested for excellence and is amust-read for anyone looking to learn the critical skills they needfor a successful career in power system operations.
