Thisbook introduces readers to novel, efficient and user-friendly software toolsfor power systems studies, to issues related to distributed and dispersed powergeneration, and to the correlation between renewable power generation andelectricity demand. Discussing new methodologies for addressing grid stabilityand control problems, it also examines issues concerning the safety andprotection of transmission and distribution networks, energy storage and powerquality, and the application of embedded systems to these networks. Lastly, thebook sheds light on the implications of these new methodologies anddevelopments for the economics of the power industry. As such, it offersreaders a comprehensive overview of state-of-the-art research on modernelectricity transmission and distribution networks.

Summary
This
book introduces readers to novel, efficient and user-friendly software tools
for power systems studies, to issues related to distributed and dispersed power
generation, and to the correlation between renewable power generation and
electricity demand. Discussing new methodologies for addressing grid stability
and control problems, it also examines issues concerning the safety and
protection of transmission and distribution networks, energy storage and power
quality, and the application of embedded systems to these networks. Lastly, the
book sheds light on the implications of these new methodologies and
developments for the economics of the power industry. As such, it offers
readers a comprehensive overview of state-of-the-art research on modern
electricity transmission and distribution networks.
