Fundamentals of Power System Economics

Interest in power systems economics is gaining momentum with the recent power supply shortages in America and the rising cost of fossil fuels. The involvement of independent power generators, brokers and distributors has changed the way in which power systems operate. Kirschen and Strbac use a combination of traditional engineering techniques and fundamental economics to address the long-term problems of power system development in a competitive environment. Power system engineers, operators, planners and policy makers working in the deregulated environment will value this practical guide, also of great interest to postgraduate and advanced undergraduate students in electrical and power engineering.   Outlines the principles of competitive electricity markets alongside the operation and development of the supporting transmission and distribution networks Applies basic economic principles to power system operating and planning Written by recognised experts in the field  For further information and to register for the solutions manual visit: http://www.wiley.com/go/powersystemeconomics

This text introduces the subject of human resources management (HRM) in a contemporary manner. The use of current examples from corporations such as Disney, IBM and General Motors, aims to bring the subject to life for the student. The authors present their views of empowerment, total quality management and communications programmes. Issues critical to HRM are woven throughout the text: diversity, international HRM, equal employment opportunity and ethics.

<p>Now in its third edition, Mathematical Concepts in the Physical Sciences, 3rd Edition provides a comprehensive introduction to the areas of mathematical physics. It combines all the essential math concepts into one compact, clearly written reference.This book is intended for students who have had a two-semester or three-semester introductory calculus course. Its purpose is to help students develop, in a short time, a basic competence in each of the many areas of mathematics needed in advanced courses in physics, chemistry, and engineering. Students are given sufficient depth to gain a solid foundation (this is not a recipe book). At the same time, they are not overwhelmed with detailed proofs that are more appropriate for students of mathematics. The emphasis is on mathematical methods rather than applications, but students are given some idea of how the methods will be used along with some simple applications.</p>

This text on operating systems covers the fundamental concepts while providing practical experience. It uses common operating systems such as MS-Dos, Mac and OS/2 to illustrate concepts and provide examples of performance characteristics. This edition contains a new case study of Windows NT and new chapters on the history of operating systems and on computer ethics.

This introductory text outlines the principal methods of solving differential equation and boundary value problems. It has been revised to include a section on the treatment of linear and nonlinear difference equations, Lorenz equations and chaos.

Elementary Differential Equations and Boundary Value Problems

Boyce, W.E.

DiPrima, R.C.

A thorough presentation of the methods for solving ordinary and partial differential equations, designed for undergraduates majoring in mathematics. The book includes detailed and well motivated explanations followed by numerous examples, varied problem sets, and computer generated graphs of solutions and applications. This book varies from "Elementary Differential Equations, 4th Ed", in that it includes an extra chapter on boundary value problems.

This revised edition provides patient guidance in its clear and organized presentation of problems. It is rich in variety, large in number and provides very careful treatment of relativity. One outstanding feature is the inclusion of simple, standard examples demonstrated in different methods that will allow students to enhance and understand their calculating abilities. There are over 145 worked examples; virtually all of the standard problems are included.
