Books in the Foundations and Trends (R) in Electric Energy Systems series

Provides an interdisciplinary bridge between power systems engineering and theoretical computer science by relating the practical and challenging problems in electric power systems with the modern theoretical tools from computer science. The proper understanding of these hard problems can advance the frontiers of both communities.

Presents a possible research agenda for analytics and control of a deep decarbonized electric grid with pervasive data, interactive consumers, and power electronics interfaces. It focuses on new lines of investigation that are driven by new technological, economical, and policy factors.

Investigates smart electric vehicle charging. This book focuses jointly on the quality of service for EV users and the stability and reliability of the power grid. It lays out a solution framework that addresses many of the key problems arising from both the lower and upper levels.

Provides the first comprehensive survey of representations in the context of optimization. To achieve this the power flow representations surveyed are categorized as either relaxations or approximations. The techniques described form the basis of running an optimally efficient modern day power system.

Surveys the network-based theories of rotor angle stability that elaborate the role of power network structure. The book focuses on the connections between power network structures and system dynamic behaviours, and those graph theoretic tools tailored for power system analysis.
