1982. , 445 pages. English translation of well known soviet book.PrefaceThere are many organizations in this country which deal with the design of management control systems in great variety. Such systems are vitally important in power industry since it uses energy production and consumption processes of complex and continuous nature, and consists of hundreds of big utilities spread over a vast territory.This book, which is the seventh volume of the treatise "Electric Power Systems", will provide a text for students taking basic courses on the design and operation of management control systems in power industry, and will also serve as a useful reference for engineers-dealing with the associated problems. Such specialists, who may be called power system cyberneticists, must familiarize themselves with various subject-matters, including major power industry production processes and modern methods of their management and control, and this book covers a great deal of the topics concerned.
Thus the audience for this book will include relatively broad sections of readers, and the material offered is divided into eight chapters concentrically, as in the case of the other volumes of the-treatise. For instance, Introduction deals with general concepts, which are treated in more detail in Chapters 1 and
2. On the other hand, basic problems associated with power system management and control are dealt with in Chapters 1 and 2 and are then elaborated in Chapters 3-7.Chapters 1 and 2 cover the specific features of modern power systems treated as large and rapidly developing systems of cybernetic nature. Here an attempt is made to formulate major tasks to be-tackled in controlling the operating conditions of interconnected power systems and to describe technico-economic aspects concerned with automated means for power system management and control.Chapters 3-7 deal with various control equipments, including digital and analog computers, telecontrol and communications facilities designed to gather, transmit and display control data. Chapter 8 gives a thorough discussion of systems engineering and cybernetic aspects of emergency control schemes used to control operating conditions of modern power systems.The bibliography at the end of the book will lead the reader to certain additional sources.For the first time the book tries to discuss the material concerning power system management and control problems jointly and systematically, and the authors beg to be excused for any errors that might have crept in inadvertently. Suggestions for improving the book will be highly welcome.
The authors also wish to thank Jacob N. Luginsky for tireless and painstaking scientific revision of the English version of the book's Introduction and Chapters 1, 2, 3, 4, 6.4 and 8.Contents:Preface
