Handschin E., Petroianu A. Energy Management Systems Operation and Control of Electric Energy Transmission Systems

Springer-Verlag, Berlin, 1991, 183 pages, ISBN13: 978-3-642-84043-2The network control is a young discipline and yet there are already a considerable number of textbooks published on this topic.The present lecture notes represent a unified approach to Energy Management Systems (EMS) from the hardware, software and human operator viewpoint. The book provides a framework within which EMS are to be realised, considering the state-of-the-art and the future developments taking place in this multidisciplinary field. A great emphasize has been put onto the systematic description of the different operational planning aspects. The content of this book is restricted to network control of electrical transmission systems. The interesting and far reaching problems of distribution network control differ very much from transmission systems and are not considered here.This book may serve as lecture notes for a graduate course in energy management systems as well as a concise introduction to engineers who enter the field of power dispatch control. Last but not least it may serve as a guide for practitioners from the electrical utilities, manufacturers, vendors and consultants involved in the different aspects of the design, development, implementation and operation of a network control centre.System engineering aspects of power system operation
