This work introduces theoretical background and application aspects of optimization for power system work, covering development of optimization methods, system theory, foundations of mathematical programming techniques, and algorithms and their application in electrical power engineering. This second edition looks at new functions involving market programs, pricing, reliability, and advances in intelligent systems. It describes recent developments in the field of adaptive design and practical applications of approximate dynamic programming. A final chapter combines theories and theorems from functional optimization, optimal control, and dynamic programming to explain new adaptive dynamic programming concepts and variants. The readership for the book includes researchers, students, and developers of power systems. Momoh is professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and director of the Center for Energy Systems and Control at Howard University.
