Called the largest power outage in U.S. history, last week's blackout affected the northeastern United States and Canada and sparked a debate on the state of the U.S. power industry and the extent of its role in the blackout.
Wiley-IEEE Press offers numerous titles in the field of power systems that can facilitate discussion and illuminate the many issues involved in this complex debate:
Understanding Electric Power Systems - An Overview of the Technology and the Marketplace by Jack Casazza and Frank Delea (Wiley-IEEE Press; October, 2003; $64.95; Paper; 0-471-44652-1) offers a real-world view of the interrelationship of all aspects of the provision of electric power at a level that is accessible to readers without a degree in electrical engineering.
Market Operations in Electric Power Systems: Forecasting, Scheduling, and Risk Management by Mohammad Shahidehpour, Hatim Yamin, and Zuyi Li (Wiley-IEEE Press; April 2002; $94.95; Cloth; 0-471-44337-9) provides a comprehensive overview of electricity restructuring and how its radical effects will shape the market.
Electricity Economics: Regulation and Deregulation by Geoffrey S. Rothwell and Tomas Gomez San Roman (Wiley-IEEE Press; January 2003; $69.95; Cloth; 0-471-23437-0) is a lucid and up-to-date introduction to understanding electrical power utilities in an era of change.
Principles of Electric Machines with Power Electronic Applications, Second Edition by Mohamed E. El-Hawary (Wiley-IEEE Press; June 2002; $94.95; Cloth; 0-471-20812-4) offers a thorough grounding in the principles of electric machines and the closely related area of power electronics and adjustable speed drives.
Power System Control and Stability, Second Edition by Paul M. Anderson and A.A. Fouad (Wiley-IEEE Press; October 2002; $99.95; Cloth; 0-471-23862-7) presents critical information on synchronous generators and their excitation systems, as well as extensive material on mathematical modeling of these critical components.
Electric Power Systems: Analysis and Control by Fabio Saccomano (Wiley-IEEE Press; January 2003; $99.95; Cloth; 0-471-23439-7) offers an extensive and articulate treatment of both the analysis and synthesis of power systems and their controls from a unique system perspective.
Thyristor-based Facts Controllers for Electrical Electrical Transmission Systems by R. Mohan Mathur and Rajiv K. Varma (Wiley-IEEE Press; February 2002; $89.95; Cloth; 0-471-20643-1) provides an in-depth discussion of both theoretical concepts and practical applications, enhanced by examples and case studies of control design and system performance.
