Sustainable Electricity Supply with Low Environmental Impact
Lawrence J. Vogt, P.E.
Eric Jeffs
Mississippi Power, Gulfport, USA
Buckinghamshire, UK
“…by far the best book I have seen on electricity pricing, and one of the best in power engineering, period… Take into consideration its very accessible tutorials on the basics, and its wonderful discussions on rate theory, rate mathematics, translating cost to prices and the like, and there is no doubt this book is a necessity for any modern electric utility engineer.”
Green Energy: Sustainable Electricity Supply with Low Environmental Impact defines the future of the world’s electricity supply system, exploring the key issues associated with global warming, and which energy systems are best suited to reducing it.
—H. Lee Willis, from the foreword
This timely and accessible guide will aid those involved in the engineering and financial operations of electric power systems to ensure reliable electric service at a fair and reasonable cost. A “how to do it” guide, it examines the relationship between electricity, customers, and service providers as it relates to pricing. It clarifies valuable mathematical analysis techniques, realistic examples, and unique lessons passed along from those inside the industry, presenting details that are generally not found in contemporary literature. This book integrates information, methodologies, and techniques from accounting, economics, engineering, finance, and marketing. Contents Overview of Electricity Pricing. Prerequisite Concepts. Electric End Uses. Customers: Electric Service Requirements. Power Delivery Systems: Transmission and Distribution. Electric Power Production. Revenue Metering and Billing. The Rate Schedule: Pricing Methods and Risk. The Mathematics of Rates. Billing Data Statistics and Applications. Costof-Service Methodology. Translating Costs to Prices. Appendices. Bibliography. Index. Catalog no. DK2471, December 2009, c. 664 pp. ISBN: 978-0-8247-2753-6, $139.95 / £89.00
Electricity generation is a concentrated industry with a few sources of emissions, and it is a field that can be controlled or legislated. This book explains that a green sustainable electricity system is one whose construction, installation, and operation minimally affect the environment and produce power reliability at an affordable price. It addresses the question of how to build such an electricity supply system to meet the demands of a growing population without accelerating global warming or damaging the environment. Although they produce no emissions, because renewable systems are composed of a large number of small units, a considerable amount of energy is required to produce, erect, and maintain them. This book is a response to that conundrum, answering key questions, such as: • How can renewables be exploited to contribute the greatest energy input? • Should coal be used for clean fuel and chemical production rather than for power generation? • How quickly can we start to build the Green Energy system? This book details how current technologies— particularly nuclear, combined cycle, and hydro—can be applied to satisfy safely the growing energy demands in the future. Catalog no.

Computational Methods for Electric Power Systems
Parameter Determination Juan A. MartinezVelasco
Second Edition
Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya, Barcelona, Spain
Missouri University of Science and Technology, Rolla, USA
Illustrates Parameter Determination for Real-World Applications Despite the powerful numerical techniques, simulation tools, and graphical user interfaces currently available, a lack of reliable tests and conversion procedures generally makes technique selection and determination of parameters the most demanding parts of creating a model. Geared toward students and professionals with at least basic knowledge of electromagnetic transient analysis, Power System Transients: Parameter Determination summarizes current procedures and techniques for establishing transient parameters for six basic power components: overhead line, insulated cable, transformer, synchronous machine, surge arrester, and circuit breaker. Expanding on papers published in the IEEE Transactions on Power Delivery, this text helps those using transient simulation tools (e.g., EMTP-like tools) select the optimal determination method for their particular model. Illustrated with case studies, this book provides modeling guidelines for the selection of adequate representations for main components. It discusses how to collect the information needed to obtain model parameters and also reviews procedures for deriving them. Appendices summarize updated techniques for identifying linear systems from frequency responses and review capabilities and limitations of simulation tools. Emphasizing standards, this book is clearly and concisely demonstrates how to create an adequate and reliable transient model.

Computational Methods for Electric Power Systems is an introductory overview of computational methods used for analytical studies in power systems and other engineering and scientific fields. As power systems increasingly operate under stressed conditions, techniques such as computer simulation remain integral to control and security assessment. This volume analyzes the algorithms used in commercial analysis packages and presents salient examples of their implementation that are simple and thorough enough to be reproduced easily. Most of the examples were produced using MATLAB® language. Commercial packages routinely fail or give erroneous results when used to simulate stressed systems, and understanding their underlying numerical algorithms is imperative to correctly interpret their results. This edition paints a broad picture of the methods used in such packages but omits extraneous detail. It includes new chapters that address function approximation and finite element analysis, in addition to new sections on: • Generalized Minimal Residual (GMRES) methods • Numerical differentiation • Secant method • Homotopy and continuation methods • Power method for computing dominant eigenvalues This book will enable users to make better choices and improve their grasp of the situations in which methods may fail—instilling greater confidence in the use of commercial packages.

Optimal Reference Shaping for Dynamical Systems Theory and Applications Tarunraj Singh State University of New York at Buffalo, USA
Use Benchmark Problems to Illustrate Techniques Focusing on feed-forward control techniques, Optimal Reference Shaping for Dynamical Systems: Theory and Applications lucidly covers the various algorithms for attenuating residual oscillations that are excited by reference inputs to dynamical systems. After developing models for applications in which the dynamics are dominated by lightly damped poles, the book describes the timedelay filter (input shaper) design technique and reviews the calculus of variations. It then focuses on four control problems: time-optimal, fuel/time-optimal, fuel limited time-optimal, and jerk limited time-optimal control. The author explains how the minimax optimization problem can help in the design of robust time-delay filters. H also explores the input-constrained design of open-loop control profiles that account for friction in the design of point-topoint control profiles. The final chapter presents numerical techniques for solving the problem of designing shaped inputs. This book provides a rigorous yet accessible presentation of the theory and numerical techniques used to shape control system inputs for achieving precise control when modeling uncertainties exist. Supplying MATLAB® code and a suite of real-world problems, it includes up-todate techniques for the design of commandshaped profiles for precise, robust, and rapid point-to-point control of underdamped systems.

Modern Predictive Control Ding Baocang Chongqing University, People’s Republic of China
Modern Predictive Control explains how MPC differs from other control methods in its implementation of a control action. Most importantly, MPC provides the flexibility to act while optimizing—which is essential to the solution of many engineering problems in complex plants, where exact modeling is impossible. The superiority of MPC is in its numerical solution. Usually, MPC is employed to solve a finitehorizon optimal control problem at each sampling instant and obtain control actions for both the present time and a future period. However, only the current control move is applied to the plant. This complete, step-by-step exploration of various approaches to MPC: • Introduces basic concepts of systems, modeling, and predictive control, detailing development from classical MPC to synthesis approaches • Explores use of Model Algorithmic Control (MAC), Dynamic Matrix Control (DMC), Generalized Predictive Control (GPC), and Two-Step Model Predictive Control • Identifies important general approaches to synthesis • Discusses open-loop and closed-loop optimization in synthesis approaches • Covers output feedback synthesis approaches with and without a finite switching horizon This book gives researchers a variety of models for use with one- and two-step control. The author clearly explains the variations between predictive control methods—and the root of these differences—to illustrate that there is no one ideal MPC and that one should remain open to selecting the best possible model in each unique circumstance.
