Artificial Intelligence Techniques in Power Systems Operations and Analysis

An electrical power system consists of large number of generation, transmission, and distribution subsystems. It is a very large and complex system and hence its installation and management are very difficult tasks. An electrical system is essentially a very large network with very large data sets. Handling these data sets can require much time to analyze and subsequent implementation. An electrical system is necessary but also potentially very dangerous if not operated and controlled properly. The demand for electricity is ever increasing so maintaining load demand without overloading of the system poses challenges and difficulties.

Thus, planning, installing, operation, and controlling such a large system requires new technology. Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications have many key features that can support a power system and handle overall power system operations. AI-based applications can manage the large data sets related to a power system. They can also help design power plants, model installation layouts, optimize load dispatch, and quickly respond to control apparatus. These applications and their techniques have been successful in many areas of power system engineering.

Artificial Intelligence Techniques in Power Systems Operations and Analysis focuses on the various challenges arising in power systems and how AI techniques help to overcome these challenges. It examines important areas of power system analysis and the implementation of AI-driven analysis techniques. The book helps academicians and researchers understand how AI can be used for more efficient operation. Multiple AI techniques are explained as well as their application. Also featured are relevant data sets and case studies. Highlights include:

Power quality enhancement by PV-UPQC for non-linear load
