Description
Basics of using optimization to operate the electricity market.
Short Summary
Get up-to-speed with the fundamentals of how electricity markets are structured and operated with this comprehensive textbook, presenting coverage of key topics in electricity market design, including power system and power market operations, transmission, unit commitment, demand response, and risk management. It includes over 140 practical examples, inspired by real-industry applications, connecting key theoretical concepts to practical scenarios in electricity market design, and features over 100 coding-based examples and exercises, with selected solutions for readers. It further demonstrates how mathematical programming models are implemented in an industry setting. Requiring no experience in power systems or energy economics, this is the ideal introduction to electricity markets for senior undergraduate and graduate students in electrical engineering, economics, and operations research, and a robust introduction to the field for professionals in utilities, energy policy, and energy regulation. Accompanied online by datasets, AMPL code, supporting videos, and full solutions and lecture slides for instructors.
When & Why?
Highly suitable for practicioners! Has multiple examples that are suitable for folks that deals with the energy space. Gives you a brief breakdown of all the optimization problem that electricity system operators would need to solve and the assumptions that are often made. It carefully combines operations research, economics and electrical engineering in a simple to understand manner for readers.
How to?
Need to purchase the book. Uses AMPL as the main modelling language so you would need that as well.
Review: what is good & less good?
Need AMPL. Love the fact that the reader can read the theory and implement it in code.
