Bøker i Foundations and Trends (R) in Electric Energy Systems-serien

Provides an interdisciplinary bridge between power systems engineering and theoretical computer science by relating the practical and challenging problems in electric power systems with the modern theoretical tools from computer science. The proper understanding of these hard problems can advance the frontiers of both communities.

Presents a possible research agenda for analytics and control of a deep decarbonized electric grid with pervasive data, interactive consumers, and power electronics interfaces. It focuses on new lines of investigation that are driven by new technological, economical, and policy factors.

Looks at why historical deterministic practices and standards, mostly developed in the 1950s, should be reviewed in order to take full advantage of new emerging technologies and facilitate transition to a smart grid paradigm.

Considers the broad multi-disciplinary problem of providing sustainable and resilient electricity services. The book introduces technology-agnostic unified modelling foundations and illustrates their use toward end-to-end cyber design for provable performance of complex electric energy systems.

Investigates smart electric vehicle charging. This book focuses jointly on the quality of service for EV users and the stability and reliability of the power grid. It lays out a solution framework that addresses many of the key problems arising from both the lower and upper levels.

Describes how optimization techniques can be used to plan for a flexible electricity grid that can operate under growing uncertainty. This book highlights the trends in grid design to deal effectively with future problems of security of supply. Formulations of key optimization problems in grid design are also provided.

Provides the first in-depth and comprehensive overview of the Holomorphic Embedding Load-Flow Method. Starting by revisiting the theoretical foundations, it proceeds to develop the complete mathematical basis required to develop practical solutions to the problem. These formulations cover both ac and dc networks.

Provides the first comprehensive survey of representations in the context of optimization. To achieve this the power flow representations surveyed are categorized as either relaxations or approximations. The techniques described form the basis of running an optimally efficient modern day power system.

Surveys the network-based theories of rotor angle stability that elaborate the role of power network structure. The book focuses on the connections between power network structures and system dynamic behaviours, and those graph theoretic tools tailored for power system analysis.

Provides the basic concepts of cyber vulnerabilities of distribution systems and cyber-physical system security. Important ICT subjects for distribution systems covered include Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition and Distributed Energy Resources, including renewable energy and smart meters.
