Electric Power Systems has been an essential book in power systems engineering for over thirty years. Bringing the content firmly up-to-date whilst still retaining the flavour of Weedy's extremely popular original, this Fifth Edition has been revised by experts Nick Jenkins, Janaka Ekanayake and Goran Strbac. This wide-ranging text still covers all of the fundamental power systems subjects but is now expanded to cover increasingly important topics like climate change and renewable power generation. Updated material includes an analysis of today's markets and an examination of the current economic state of power generation. The physical limits of power systems equipment - currently being tested by the huge demand for power - is explored, and greater attention is paid to power electronics, voltage source and power system components, amongst a host of other updates and revisions.    Supplies an updated chapter on power system economics and management issues and extended coverage of power system components. Also expanded information on power electronics and voltage source, including VSC HVDC and FACTS. Updated to take into account the challenges posed by different world markets, and pays greater attention to up-to-date renewable power generation methods such as wind power. Includes modernized presentation and greater use of examples to appeal to today's students, also retains the end of chapter questions to assist with the learning process. Also shows students how to apply calculation techniques.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56290660155765,"sku":"9780470682685","price":62.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780470682685_8775fb65-5bec-481f-bc8c-3076d5d420e3.jpg?v=1786013546"},{"product_id":"9781119815990","title":"Fundamentals of Power System Resilience: Disruptio ns by Natural Causes","description":"Comprehensive resource focusing on natural hazards and their impact on power systems, with case studies and tutorials included Fundamentals of Power System Resilience is the first book to cover the topic of power system resilience in a holistic manner, ranging from novel conceptual frameworks for understanding the concept, to advanced assessment and quantifying techniques, to optimization planning algorithms and regulatory frameworks towards resilient power grids. The text explicitly addresses the needs and challenges of current network planning and operation standards and examines the steps and standard amendments needed to achieve low-carbon, resilient power systems. Practically, it provides frameworks to assess resilience in operation and planning and relevant quantification metrics. Case studies from around the world (real data and project developments as well as simulations) including windstorms, wildfires, floods, earthquakes, blackouts, and brownouts, etc. are included, with applications from the UK, Chile, Australia, and Greece. In Fundamentals of Power System Resilience, readers can expect to find specific information on: Classical reliability standards, covering the changing energy landscape and limitations  of existing reliability-driven network planning and operation standardsHow resilience is interpreted in the power systems community, and characterizations and differentiation of threatsSpatiotemporal impact assessment of external shocks on power systems, trapezoid applications to different events of different time-scales, and AC cascading models for resilience applicationsConventional approaches to asset failure data representation and modeling of the relationship between weather\/asset outages Fundamentals of Power System Resilience provides fundamental knowledge of the subject and is an excellent supplementary reference for final undergraduates and postgraduate students due to its mix of basic and advanced content and tutorial-like exercises. It is also essential for regulators and practitioners for shaping the future resilient power systems.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56368648683893,"sku":"9781119815990","price":102.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781119815990_bed04e2a-bf1d-4cda-9cef-fce643fd6e42.jpg?v=1786018126"},{"product_id":"9781394333028","title":"Fundamentals of Power System Economics, 3e","description":"“Where economic theory meets the physics of electricity—everything you need to understand why power markets are unlike any other.” —Jesse Jenkins, Princeton University “Fundamentals of Power System Economics caters to a wide diversity of students; it can speak to economists and engineers alike.” —François Bouffard, McGill University “Perfectly bridges principles of economics with the power system.” —Chongqing Kang, Tsinghua University Understand competitive electricity markets in a decarbonizing energy landscape Designing successful electricity markets requires mastery of both power systems engineering and market economics. Now in its third edition, Fundamentals of Power System Economics explains competitive market principles while contrasting them against the monopoly model as a reference framework. Written by two leading researchers in power system economics, this new edition addresses markets where carbon-free generation predominates. This edition adds coverage of decarbonization economics, government market interventions, and market clearing with high renewable penetration. New material addresses transmission investment cost allocation, generation investment challenges in energy-only markets, and system operator tools including SCED and SCUC. A new chapter on retail markets covers prosumer interactions, flexible consumers, and energy equity. The book also includes: Reorganized structure covering fundamental principles, short-term operational economics, and long-term investment economics across three distinct partsDetailed analysis of wholesale market structures including demand-side bidding mechanisms and examples showing different renewable generation proportionsCoverage of transmission network integration with system operator responsibilities and optimal power flow methodologies explained in monopoly contextsDiscussion of retail electricity tariffs for residential and commercial consumers alongside emerging prosumer business models and flexibility servicesExtensive end-of-chapter exercises and discussion points designed to reinforce concepts and enhance understanding of complex market dynamics Designed for graduate and undergraduate students in electrical and power engineering, this book serves power system engineers, operators, planners, and policymakers working in deregulated environments. Fundamentals of Power System Economics provides the analytical foundation needed to navigate electricity markets during the transition to low-carbon generation.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56368735551861,"sku":"9781394333028","price":103.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781394333028_4df0320f-6f52-4e29-afbd-00ca7a471dfe.jpg?v=1786034086"}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/collections\/author-goran-strbac.oembed","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
