Power System Optimization is intended to introduce the methods of multi-objective optimization in integrated electric power system operation, covering economic, environmental, security and risk aspects as well. Evolutionary algorithms which mimic natural evolutionary principles to constitute random search and optimization procedures are appended in this new edition to solve generation scheduling problems. Written in a student-friendly style, the book provides simple and understandable basic computational concepts and algorithms used in generation scheduling so that the readers can develop their own programs in any high-level programming language. This clear, logical overview of generation scheduling in electric power systems permits both students and power engineers to understand and apply optimization on a dependable basis. The book is particularly easy-to-use with sound and consistent terminology and perspective throughout. This edition presents systematic coverage of local and global optimization techniques such as binary- and real-coded genetic algorithms, evolutionary algorithms, particle swarm optimization and differential evolutionary algorithms. The economic dispatch problem presented, considers higher-order nonlinearities and discontinuities in input–output characteristics in fossil fuel burning plants due to valve-point loading, ramp-rate limits and prohibited operating zones. Search optimization techniques presented are those which participate efficiently in decision making to solve the multiobjective optimization problems. Stochastic optimal generation scheduling is also updated in the new edition. Generalized Z-bus distribution factors (GZBDF) are presented to compute the active and reactive power flow on transmission lines. The interactive decision making methodology based on fuzzy set theory, in order to determine the optimal generation allocation to committed generating units, is also discussed. This book is intended to meet the needs of a diverse range of groups interested in the application of optimization techniques to power system operation. It requires only an elementary knowledge of numerical techniques and matrix operation to understand most of the topics. It is designed to serve as a textbook for postgraduate electrical engineering students, as well as a reference for faculty, researchers, and power engineers interested in the use of optimization as a tool for reliable and secure economic operation of power systems. Key Features The book discusses : Load flow techniques and economic dispatch—both classical and rigorous Economic dispatch considering valve-point loading, ramp-rate limits and prohibited operating zones Real coded genetic algorithms for economic dispatch Evolutionary programming for economic dispatch Particle swarm optimization for economic dispatch Differential evolutionary algorithm for economic dispatch Stochastic multiobjective thermal power dispatch with security Generalized Z-bus distribution factors to compute line flow Stochastic multiobjective hydrothermal generation scheduling Multiobjective thermal power dispatch using artificial neural networks Fuzzy multiobjective generation scheduling Multiobjective generation scheduling by searching weight pattern

By: M.L. Jat,S.R. Bhakar,S.K. Sharma,A.K. Kothari

This book, primarily designed to cater to the needs of undergraduate and post graduate students of Agricultural Engineering and Agriculture, research scholars, professionals and policy planners associated with dryland farming or rain fed farming covers major topics on land and water resources and their management aspects. Entire content has been divided into 22 chapters with solved examples and case studies. First 4 chapters are devoted mainly in explaining the basic dryland farming, dryland engineering, rainfall and water balance analysis and climate, weather forecasting with solved examples and case studies. 18 chapters on land and water resources management aspects, implements used in different field operations and also on storage, value addition of agricultural products, livelihood security of dryland farmers with communication facilities and resources centre and alternate landuse planning and Watershed Management. A sincere attempt has been made to compile and present the text in quickly understandable form. Well drawn diagrams, understanding the Dryland Technology and livelihood aspects of dryland farmers. This could be a good text book for undergraduate and post graduate students, a reference tool for professional and good teaching material for teachers in the field of land and water resources management under dryland ecosystem, and also for scientists working in the field of rain fed farming.

THEORY AND PROBLEMS OF BASIC ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING

By: D. P. KOTHARI,I. J. NAGRATH

For the first time in India, we have a comprehensive introductory book on Basic Electrical Engineering that caters to undergraduate students of all branches of engineering and to all those who are appearing in competitive examinations such as AMIE, GATE and graduate IETE. The book provides a lucid yet exhaustive exposition of the fundamental concepts, techniques and devices in basic electrical engineering through a series of carefully crafted solved examples, multiple choice (objective type) questions and review questions. The book covers, in general, three major areas: electric circuit theory, electric machines, and measurement and instrumentation systems.

RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES AND EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES

By: KOTHARI, D. P.,RANJAN, RAKESH,SINGAL, K. C.

This book, now in its Third Edition, is an introductory text on renewable energy sources, technologies and their applications—a subject that is becoming increasingly important worldwide. While technological development has improved the efficiency of Energy Conversion Systems (ECS) from renewable resources, Energy Conservation is also given due importance. The authors have tried to incorporate such changes in this thoroughly revised edition. Besides this, a large number of numerical problems to correlate theory with typical values, several case studies and chapter-wise review questions are also given to reinforce the understanding of the subject matter. Written in an accessible style, this textbook is intended to serve as an introductory text for the subject of energy and environment for all branches of Engineering and Environmental Sciences. It will also be useful for all higher-level courses in energy programmes and multi-disciplinary postgraduate courses in science and engineering.

Growth-Equity Trade-offs in Structural Reforms

By: Mr.Jonathan David Ostry,Mr.Andrew Berg,Siddharth Kothari

Do structural reforms that aim to boost potential output also change the distribution of income? We shed light on this question by looking at the broad patterns in the cross-country data covering advanced, emerging-market, and low-income countries. Our main finding is that there is indeed evidence of a growth-equity tradeoff for some important reforms. Financial and capital account liberalization seem to increase both growth and inequality, as do some measures of liberalization of current account transactions. Reforms aimed at strengthening the impartiality of and adherence to the legal system seem to entail no growth-equity tradeoff—such reforms are good for growth and do not worsen inequality. The results for our index of network reforms as well as our measure of the decentralization of collective labor bargaining are the weakest and least robust, potentially due to data limitations. We also ask: If some structural reforms worsen inequality, to what degree does this offset the growth gains from the reforms themselves? While higher inequality does dampen the growth benefits, the net effect on growth remains positive for most reform indicators.
