This book provides an in-depth analysis of investment problems
pertaining to electric energy infrastructure, including both
generation and transmission facilities. The analysis encompasses
decision-making tools for expansion planning, reinforcement, and
the selection and timing of investment options. In this regard, the
book provides an up-to-date description of analytical tools to
address challenging investment questions such as: How can we expand
and/or reinforce our aging electricity transmission infrastructure?
How can we expand the transmission network of a given region to
integrate significant amounts of renewable generation? How can we
expand generation facilities to achieve a low-carbon electricity
production system? How can we expand the generation system while
ensuring appropriate levels of flexibility to accommodate both
demand-related and production-related uncertainties? How can we
choose among alternative production facilities? What is the right
time to invest in a given production or transmission facility?
Written in a tutorial style and modular format, the book includes a
wealth of illustrative examples to facilitate comprehension. It is
intended for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in the
fields of electric energy systems, operations research, management
science, and economics. Practitioners in the electric energy sector
will also benefit from the concepts and techniques presented here.

This book describes the latest microeconomic concepts and
operations research (OR) techniques needed to comprehend the design
and operation of power markets, as well as the actions of their
agents: producers, consumers, operators, and regulators. This is
critical when it comes to addressing a constantly evolving power
system environment that incorporates an increasing number of
no-marginal-cost renewable sources, increasingly competitive
storage facilities, increasingly responsive demands, and widespread
communication channels that allow distributed decision-making. Such
evolving environments call for a re-examination of the
microeconomic concepts and OR techniques required by graduate
students and practitioners in the electric energy field. This
accessible, tutorial-style book features numerous illustrative
examples to help readers grasp the economic concepts and OR
procedures used by power market professionals. The authors explian
these concepts and procedures and present a vision of a
renewable-dominated marketplace. Each chapter also includes
exercises.

This book covers game-theoretic approaches to analyzing policies
for environmental regulation in the power sector. The scope
includes operational and investment decisions in imperfectly
competitive electricity markets as well as transmission planning
and policy design. Given this context, this book synthesizes
equilibrium and bi-level modeling to address challenging research
questions such as: * How are power-plant operations affected by
carbon policy, such as cap-and-trade (C&T) systems? * How does
market power in electricity generation affect market outcomes and
CO2 emissions? * How does a strategic firm with first-mover
advantage manipulate both electricity and C&T permit prices? *
How does a strategic firm with first-mover advantage invest in new
generation capacity under a C&T system? * How does sustainable
transmission planning adapt to an imperfectly competitive power
sector? * How should a renewable portfolio standard (RPS) target be
revised in an imperfectly competitive power sector? This book
includes plenty of illustrative examples to facilitate the
concepts' comprehension. It is intended to make equilibrium and
bi-level models adapted for policy assessment accessible to
graduate students, academic researchers, industry practitioners,
and policy analysts.
