Author Description

<p>Electricity Pricing: Regulated, Deregulated and Smart Grid Systems presents proven methods for supplying uninterrupted, high-quality electrical power at a reasonable price to the consumer. Illustrating the evolution of the power market from a monopoly to an open access system, this essential text:</p> <ul> <li>Covers voltage stability analysis of longitudinal power supply systems using an artificial neural network (ANN)</li> <li>Explains how to improve performance using flexible alternating current transmission systems (FACTS) and high-voltage direct current (HVDC)</li> <li>Takes into account operating constraints as well as generation cost, line overload, and congestion for expected and inadvertent loading stress</li> <li>Goes beyond FACTS and HVDC to provide multi-objective optimization algorithms for the deregulated power market</li> <li>Proposes the use of stochastic optimization techniques in the smart grid, preparing the reader for future development</li> </ul> <p><b>Electricity Pricing: Regulated, Deregulated and Smart Grid Systems</b> offers practical solutions for improving stability, reliability, and efficiency in real-time systems while optimizing electricity cost.</p>
