Power Generation Operation and Control

---

The fundamental purpose of this text is to introduce and explore a number of engineering and economic matters involved in planning, operating, and controlling power generation and transmission systems in electric utilities. It is intended for first-year graduate students in electric power engineering. rnThis text brings together material that has evolved since 1966 in teaching a graduate level course in the electric power engineering department at Rensselear Polytechnic Institute (RPI). The topics included serve as an effective means to introduce graduate students to advanced methematical and operations research methods applied to practical electric power engineering problems. Some areas of the text cover methods that are currently being applied in the control and operation of electric power generation systems. The overall selection of topics, undoubtedly, reflects the interets of the outhors.rnThe material has regularly been taught in the second semester of a first-year graduate course. Some acquaintance with both advanced calculus methods (e.g. Lagrange multipliers) and basic undergraduate control theory is needed. Optimization methods are introduced as they are neended to solve practical problems and used without resource to extensive mathematical proofs. This material is intended for an engineering course: mathematical rigor is important but is more properly the province of an applied or theoretical mathematics course. With the exception of Chapter 12, the text is self-contained in the sense that the various applied mathematical techniques are presented and developed as they are utilized. Chapter 12, dealing with state estimation, may require more understanding of statistical and probabilistic methods than is provided in the text.rnThe first seven chaptersof the text follow a natural sequence, with each succeeding chapter introducing further complications to the generation scheduling problem and solution techniques. Chapter 8 treats methods used in generation system planning and introduces probabilistic techniques in the computation of fuel consumption and energy production costs. Chapter 8 stands alone and might be used in any position after the first seven chapters. Chapter 9 introduces generation control and discusses practices in modern U.S. utilities and pools.rnThe topics of energy and power interchange between utilities and the economic and scheduling problems that may arise in coordinating the economis operation of interconnected utilities are discussed in Chapter 10. Chapter 11 and 12 are a unit. Chapter 11 is concerned with power system security and develops the analytical framework used to control bulk power systems in such a fashion that security is enhanced. Everything, including power systems, seems to have a propensity to fail. Power system security practices try to control and operate power systems in a defensive posture so that the effects of these inevitable failures are minimized. Finally, Chapter 12 is an introduction to the use of state estimation in electric power systems. Each chapter is provided with a set of problems and an annotated reference list for further reading. Many, if not most, of these problems should be solved using a digital computer. rnIn the ten years since Allen J. Wood and Bruce F. Wallenberg presented their comprehensive introduction to the engineering and economic factors involved in operating and controlling power generation systems in electric utilities, the electric power industry has undergone unprecedented change. Deregulation, open access to transmission systems, and the birth of independent power producers have altered the structure of the industry, while technological advances have created a host of new opportunities and challenges.rnIn Power Generation, Operation, and Control, Second Edition, Wood and Wallenberg bring professionals and students alike up to date on the nuts and bolts of the field. Continuing in the tradition of the first edition, they offer a practical, hands-on guide to theoretical developments and to the application of advanced operations research methods to realistic electric power engineering problems. This one-of-a-kind text also addresses the interaction between human and economic factors to prepare readers to make real-world decisions that go beyond the limits of mere technical calculations.rnThe second edition features vital new material, incluidng:rn• A computer disk developed by the authors to help readers solve complicated problemsrn• Examination of Optimal Power Flow (OPF)rn• Treatment of unit commitment exapnded to incorporate the Lagrange relaxation techniquern• Introction to the use of bounding techniques and other contingency selection methodsrn• Applications suited to the new, deregulated systems as well as to the traditional, vertically, organized utilities companyrnWood and Wallenber draw upon nearly 30 years of classroom testing to provide valubale data on operations research, state estimation methods, fuel scheduling techniques, and more. Designed for clarity and ease of use, this invaluable reference prepares industry professioals and students to meet the future challenges of power generation, operation, and control.rn
