Smart and Sustainable Power Systems

This book discusses the modeling, simulation, and optimization of insular power systems to address the large-scale integration of renewables and demand-side management. It describes uncertainty, variability, reserves, and demand response. It examines forecasting techniques, power flow calculations, and scheduling models, including testing and validation using real-world data. The text also covers probabilistic and stochastic approaches, scenario generation, short-term operation, electric price signals, competitive operation of distribution networks, and network expansion planning, making it a valuable resource for the development of a sustainable and smart grid.
