This new volume, Power Systems Control and Reliability: Electric Power Design and Enhancement, focuses on power systems reliability and generating unit commitments. These reliability techniques are essential in the design and evaluation of the electric power systems for planning, control, and operation.

Recenzje

"Professor Qamber is a well-known scientist and academician in the field of electrical power engineering. In this book, he presents applications of probability methods and concepts in the field of electric power systems reliability. These concepts are very useful not only to power systems reliability engineering but also to other reliability engineering fields. In addition, the textbook covers power systems control, unit commitment, economic dispatch, and load forecasting. In addition to literature review and recent references, the text is supplemented by numerous solved examples. Therefore, the book is useful to undergraduate and graduate students, researchers, as well as practicing engineers.”
—Mohammed Albadi, IEEE Senior member, Associate Professor and Head of Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, Sultan Qaboos University, Oman
