ElectricityPricingEngineeringPrinciples andMethodologiesLawrence J. Vogt, P.E.Mississippi Power, Gulfport, USA

“…by far the best book I have seen on elec-tricity pricing, and one of the best in powerengineering, period… Take into considerationits very accessible tutorials on the basics, andits wonderful discussions on rate theory, ratemathematics, translating cost to prices and thelike, and there is no doubt this book is a neces-sity for any modern electric utility engineer.”

—H. Lee Willis, from the foreword

This timely and accessible guide will aid thoseinvolved in the engineering and financial oper-ations of electric power systems to ensure reli-able electric service at a fair and reasonablecost. A “how to do it” guide, it examines therelationship between electricity, customers,and service providers as it relates to pricing. Itclarifies valuable mathematical analysis tech-niques, realistic examples, and unique lessonspassed along from those inside the industry,presenting details that are generally not foundin contemporary literature. This book inte-grates information, methodologies, and tech-niques from accounting, economics, engineer-ing, finance, and marketing.

Green EnergySustainableElectricity Supplywith LowEnvironmentalImpactEric JeffsBuckinghamshire, UK

Green Energy: Sustainable ElectricitySupply with Low Environmental Impactdefines the future of the world’s electricity sup-ply system, exploring the key issues associatedwith global warming, and which energy sys-tems are best suited to reducing it.

Electricity generation is a concentrated indus-try with a few sources of emissions, and it is afield that can be controlled or legislated. Thisbook explains that a green sustainable electric-ity system is one whose construction, installa-tion, and operation minimally affect the envi-ronment and produce power reliability at anaffordable price. It addresses the question ofhow to build such an electricity supply systemto meet the demands of a growing populationwithout accelerating global warming or dam-aging the environment.

Although they produce no emissions, becauserenewable systems are composed of a largenumber of small units, a considerable amountof energy is required to produce, erect, andmaintain them. This book is a response to thatconundrum, answering key questions, such as:

• How can renewables be exploited to con-tribute the greatest energy input?

• Should coal be used for clean fuel andchemical production rather than for powergeneration?

• How quickly can we start to build theGreen Energy system?

This book details how current technologies—particularly nuclear, combined cycle, andhydro—can be applied to satisfy safely thegrowing energy demands in the future.Catalog no. K10998, November 2009, c. 238 pp.ISBN: 978-1-4398-1892-3, $99.95 / £63.99

ComputationalMethods forElectric PowerSystemsSecond EditionMariesa CrowMissouri University of Scienceand Technology, Rolla, USA

Computational Methods for Electric PowerSystems is an introductory overview of com-putational methods used for analytical studiesin power systems and other engineering andscientific fields. As power systems increasinglyoperate under stressed conditions, techniquessuch as computer simulation remain integralto control and security assessment. This vol-ume analyzes the algorithms used in commer-cial analysis packages and presents salientexamples of their implementation that aresimple and thorough enough to be repro-duced easily. Most of the examples were pro-duced using MATLAB® language.

Commercial packages routinely fail or giveerroneous results when used to simulatestressed systems, and understanding theirunderlying numerical algorithms is imperativeto correctly interpret their results. This editionpaints a broad picture of the methods used insuch packages but omits extraneous detail. Itincludes new chapters that address functionapproximation and finite element analysis, inaddition to new sections on:

• Generalized Minimal Residual (GMRES)methods

• Numerical differentiation

• Secant method

Use Benchmark Problems to IllustrateTechniques

Focusing on feed-forward control techniques,Optimal Reference Shaping for DynamicalSystems: Theory and Applications lucidly cov-ers the various algorithms for attenuating resid-ual oscillations that are excited by referenceinputs to dynamical systems.

After developing models for applications inwhich the dynamics are dominated by lightlydamped poles, the book describes the time-delay filter (input shaper) design technique andreviews the calculus of variations. It then focuseson four control problems: time-optimal,fuel/time-optimal, fuel limited time-optimal, andjerk limited time-optimal control. The authorexplains how the minimax optimization prob-lem can help in the design of robust time-delayfilters. H also explores the input-constraineddesign of open-loop control profiles thataccount for friction in the design of point-to-point control profiles. The final chapter presentsnumerical techniques for solving the problem ofdesigning shaped inputs.

This book provides a rigorous yet accessiblepresentation of the theory and numerical tech-niques used to shape control system inputs forachieving precise control when modeling uncer-tainties exist.

ModernPredictiveControlDing BaocangChongqing University, People’sRepublic of China

Modern Predictive Control explains howMPC differs from other control methods in itsimplementation of a control action. Mostimportantly, MPC provides the flexibility to actwhile optimizing—which is essential to the solu-tion of many engineering problems in complexplants, where exact modeling is impossible.

The superiority of MPC is in its numerical solu-tion. Usually, MPC is employed to solve a finite-horizon optimal control problem at each sam-pling instant and obtain control actions forboth the present time and a future period.However, only the current control move isapplied to the plant.

This complete, step-by-step exploration ofvarious approaches to MPC:

• Introduces basic concepts of systems, model-ing, and predictive control, detailing develop-ment from classical MPC to synthesisapproaches

• Explores use of Model Algorithmic Control(MAC), Dynamic Matrix Control (DMC),Generalized Predictive Control (GPC), andTwo-Step Model Predictive Control

• Identifies important general approaches tosynthesis

• Discusses open-loop and closed-loop opti-mization in synthesis approaches

• Covers output feedback synthesis approacheswith and without a finite switching horizon

This book gives researchers a variety of modelsfor use with one- and two-step control. Theauthor clearly explains the variations betweenpredictive control methods—and the root ofthese differences—to illustrate that there is noone ideal MPC and that one should remainopen to selecting the best possible model ineach unique circumstance.Catalog no. 85301, November 2009, 296 pp.ISBN: 978-1-4200-8530-3, $139.95 / £85.00

ElectronicsBasic, Analog, and Digital withPSpiceNassir H. SabahAmerican University of Beirut,Lebanon

Electronics: Basic, Analog, and Digital withPSpice does more than just make assertionsabout electronics without adequately justify-ing them. It provides a unique focus on funda-mental physical concepts and the underlyingtheory of semiconductors to reinforce under-standing and help readers develop a superiorcommand of how electronic devices function.Addressing the important but often ignoredtopic of electrochemical potential of materials,it presents the tools necessary to develop aqualitative understanding of new and project-ed performance improvements to microelec-tronics. It integrates PSpice simulations intothe discussion, explaining them in consider-able detail. It also includes practical, real-worldexamples, problems, and other supplementarymaterial.
