"Control and Optimization Methods for Electric Smart Grids" brings together leading experts in power, control and communication systems, and consolidates some of the most promising recent research in smart grid modeling, control and optimization in hopes of laying the foundation for future advances in this critical field of study. The contents comprise eighteen essays addressing wide varieties of control-theoretic problems for tomorrow's power grid. Topics covered include control architectures for power system networks with large-scale penetration of renewable energy and plug-in vehicles, optimal demand response, new modeling methods for electricity markets, cyber-security, data analysis and wide-area control using synchronized phasor measurements.

Appropriate for a one semester/two-quarter senior-level course in digital or discrete-time controls. This revision of the best-selling text in digital controls is a significant update with the integration of MATLAB software and new coverage in several areas. This program presents a better teaching and learning experience-for you and your students. *Provide MATLAB programs to students: Short MATLAB programs have been included in many of the examples, which allow students to experiment and learn more skills. *Motivate students with running applications that are featured throughout the book: Simple physical systems are introduced in one chapter and then used again later to illuminate more advanced material. *Reinforce core concepts with examples and problems: Over 400 problems and 130 worked examples help students grasp the text's concepts.
