Optimization Methods Applied to Power Systems Ⅱ

Electrical power systems are complex networks that include a set of electrical components that allow distributing the electricity generated in the conventional and renewable power plants to distribution systems so it can be received by final consumers (businesses and homes). In practice power system management requires solving different design operation and control problems. Bearing in mind that computers are used to solve these complex optimization problems this book includes some recent contributions to this field that cover a large variety of problems. More specifically the book includes contributions about topics such as controllers for the frequency response of microgrids post-contingency overflow analysis line overloads after line and generation contingences power quality disturbances earthing system touch voltages security-constrained optimal power flow voltage regulation planning intermittent generation in power systems location of partial discharge source in gas-insulated switchgear electric vehicle charging stations optimal power flow with photovoltaic generation hydroelectric plant location selection cold-thermal-electric integrated energy systems high-efficiency resonant devices for microwave power generation security-constrained unit commitment and economic dispatch problems.
