Riassunto

The restructuring and deregulation of the power utility industry is resulting in significant competitive, technological and regulatory changes. Independent power producers, power marketers and brokers have added a new and significant dimension to the task of maintaining a reliable electric system. Power System Restructuring and Deregulation provides comprehensive coverage of the technological advances, which have helped redesign the ways in which utility companies manage their business.

With the aid of practical case studies, an international panel of contributors address the most up to date problems and their solutions in a cohesive manner, making this book indispensable to graduates and engineers in the power industry field.

• Presents state of the art techniques in power industry restructuring
• Includes applications of new technology in power industry deregulation
• Includes practical examples of changes in load forecasting techniques and methods
• International contributors offer a global perspective detailing power utility restructuring and deregulation from various countries

He has also been invited to deliver keynote addresses and plenary speeches to several major international conferences sponsored by the IET and IEEE.

Dalla quarta di copertina

Power system restructuring and deregulation is underway on a worldwide scale. The introduction of independent power generators, distributors and brokers has brought new challenges to the task of maintaining a reliable electricity system. Providing practical guidance to the changes ahead, this book details the competitive, regulatory and technological advances redesigning the management of power utility companies.

Features include:

• State-of-the-art techniques in power industry restructuring including guidance on asset management, transmission balancing and meter management systems.
• International case studies addressing industry-wide problems and presenting practical solutions.
• Tools for the modelling and analysis of competitive power markets.
• Coverage of the environmental impact of industry restructuring.
• Discussion of the costs and benefits associated with deregulation and restructuring.
• Survey of the new strategies and technologies available for electricity generation, transmission and distribution.

An international panel of contributors address the restructuring of the power industry and outline methods for the creation of a successful deregulated market. Power System Restructuring and Deregulation will be an invaluable resource for power system engineers, system operators, managers, planners and policy makers working in the field.
