Electricity Pricing: Regulated, Deregulated and Smart Grid Systems presents proven methods for supplying uninterrupted, high-quality electrical power at a reasonable price to the consumer. Illustrating the evolution of the power market from a monopoly to an open access system, this essential text:

• Covers voltage stability analysis of longitudinal power supply systems using an artificial neural network (ANN)
• Explains how to improve performance using flexible alternating current transmission systems (FACTS) and high-voltage direct current (HVDC)

Consists of critical reviews and original research papers from the 2014 International Symposium on the Biochemical Role of Eukaryotic Cell Surface Macromolecules. Topics covered include: * neurochemical and biochemical analysis of cell surface glycoconjugates * membrane skeletal organization * GPCRs and other receptors * biophysical approaches to study membrane interactions * glycoconjugate metabolism * dysregulation * molecular mechanisms involved in cell-cell and cell-matrix interaction * glycans in infectious and neurological diseases * cancer and glycosyltransferases as drug targets.

This book focuses on soft computing techniques for enhancing voltage security in electrical power networks. Artificial neural networks (ANNs) have been chosen as a soft computing tool, since such networks are eminently suitable for the study of voltage security. The different architectures of the ANNs used in this book are selected on the basis of intelligent criteria rather than by a "brute force" method of trial and error. The fundamental aim of this book is to present a comprehensive treatise on power system security and the simulation of power system security. The core concepts are...
