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.
