Restructured Power Systems: Engineering and Economics

This is a critical and multi-disciplinary look on the electricity supply industry at a time when it has reached a new watershed. Written as a graduate level text for engineers, economists and policy makers, the book will be an advanced text but written to be intelligible to a wide professional community. The text will overlap the technical, economic and institutional aspects of the reformed industry. It incorporates an evaluation of progress to date and a critical review of impending changes in direction. The volume includes a discussion of the world's largest growing electricity markets, China, India and the developing world, and their special concerns, including institutional factors which play a dominant role.
