There is a growing concern among Chinese researchers and policymakers about China's industrial development being unsustainable and the irreversible depletion of natural resources and deterioration of the ecological environment. The relationship between industrial development, pollution and the environmental quality is an important issue that deserves careful study. Environmental considerations play a crucial role in shaping China's development strategies. Green development of China creates strong pressures for continuous transforming, upgrading and restructuring of the Chinese economy. This book explores how China's industrial development relates to pollution and environmental quality, and how considerations about such issues associated with the ecological system affect China's development strategies.

Comprehensive treatment of an aspect of stability constrained operations and planning, including the latest research and engineering practices Stability-Constrained Optimization for Modern Power System Operation and Planning focuses on the subject of power system stability, addressing a common gap in knowledge by presenting a series of stability-constrained optimization methodologies for power system operation and planning with the aim of power system stability enhancement. Unlike other resources, which focus mainly on the dynamic modeling, stability analysis, and controller design of power systems, this book is instead dedicated to operational and planning methods for power system stability enhancement, including power system stability preliminaries, stability-constrained operational dispatch, and stability-constrained network reinforcement planning. Authored by experts with established track records in both research and industry, Stability-Constrained Optimization for Modern Power System Operation and Planning covers sample topics such as: The definition, classification, and phenomenon of power system stability, recent large-scale blackouts in the world, and mathematical models and analysis tools for power system stability assessment Transient stability-constrained optimal power flow (TSC-OPF), hybrid solution methods for TSC-OPF, data-driven solution methods for TSC-OPF, and transient stability constrained-unit commitment (TSC-UC) TSC-OPF under wind power uncertainties, trajectory sensitivity-based preventive dispatch, preventive-corrective coordinated TSC-OPF, and optimal event-based load shedding Voltage stability indies, dynamic VAR resources (STATCOM and SVC), candidate bus selection for dynamic VAR allocation, and multi-objective dynamic VAR planning Stability-Constrained Optimization for Modern Power System Operation and Planning provides the latest research findings to scholars, researchers, and postgraduate students who are seeking optimization model formulations and solution methodologies for stability enhancement. It also provides key practical operational dispatch and network reinforcement planning methods to power system operators, planners, and decision-makers in the power utilities and related industries.
