Dr. J.C. Das is currently the President of Power System Studies, Inc. Snellville, USA. He headed the Electrical Power Systems Analysis Department at AMEC Inc., (now AMEC Foster Wheeler, Inc.) Tucker, GA, USA, for the last 30 years. He has varied experience in the utility industry, industrial establishments, hydroelectric generation, and atomic energy. He is responsible for power system studies, including short-circuit, load flow, harmonics, stability, arc-flash hazard, grounding, switching transients, EMTP simulations, and protective relaying. He conducts courses for continuing education in power systems and has authored or coauthored approximately 65 technical publications, six textbooks, and over 7,000 total published pages.
"Control theory and optimization theory are both at the heart of
the operation of power systems. The ever-growing complexity of
power grids demands the deployment of modern control and
optimization techniques. This book provides a detailed
understanding of the operation of power systems, from modeling to
the analysis of important control and optimization problems. The
topics covered in this book span power systems, control theory,
algorithms and nonlinear optimization. The materials are designed
for undergraduate students in engineering but are up-to-date and
will help graduate students identify significant research problems.
This book offers an interdisciplinary perspective, which
distinguishes itself from many other books on power systems."
—Javad Lavaei, University of California, Berkeley"The book contains
a modern, comprehensive and up-to-date treatise on power flows and
their applications in the wider context of the optimization
problem. As a bonus, the book covers additional topics such as
stability, security and transmission control. AGC and generation
control is also discussed in great detail, including modern topics
such as deregulation, auctions and NERC reliability criteria.
Modeling details specific to HVDC, advanced numerical methods such
as second order methods and load modeling receive fair treatment,
which is important for engineers and scholars seeking techniques
going beyond the basics. A plethora of optimization techniques are
rigorously explored and meet the expectations of book on load flow
optimal methods. Finally, the book offers a fresh introduction to
evolutionary programming techniques, many of which are still being
developed in the research literature. This provides a preview on
current trends and efforts on metaheuristic optimization
algorithms."
— Abdelrahman (Abdel) Karrar, University of Tennessee at
Chattanooga"If the reader is looking for a clear exposition on a
current hot topic, namely, power flow optimization, this book will
end the search. The book is very well-organized, maintaining a
logical flow chapter after chapter. Each topic is clearly explained
and has explicit computation to solve relevant toy examples helps
the reader in thoroughly grasping the subject. The book has a great
potential to quickly become a standard textbook on the topic."
— Dhagash Mehta, United Technologies Research Center, East
Hartford, CT, USA"The book presents how to apply the optimization
techniques to a power system and the means of formulating an
optimal power flow. The development of the objective function,
constraints, and controls are introduced and fully developed.
Different solution techniques to solve optimal power flow problems
are discussed.
Overall, this is a great book for power system engineers involved
in power flow and optimal power flow studies. It is an excellent
reference for power system engineers as for graduate students in
the area of power systems. The text is easy to read and presents
modeling principles and solution techniques one can readily
apply."
