Worldwide, electricity systems are evolving to adapt to a low-carbon economy in which increasingly more renewable energy resources are being integrated. These changes, in turn, make the development of new methods, tools, and approaches to deal with the operation and planning of electricity systems necessary. On the other hand, new regulations must be developed in order to deal with a wide integration of renewable and distributed energy resources, both from a generation and a network (transmission and distribution) perspective. Furthermore, the natural gas sector is going through significant transformation related mainly to both technological advances and strategic policy decisions. While the...
Energy is one of the world`s most challenging problems, and power systems are an important aspect of energy related issues. This handbook contains state-of-the-art contributions on power systems modeling and optimization. The book is separated into two volumes with six sections, which cover the most important areas of energy systems. The first volume covers the topics operations planning and expansion planning while the second volume focuses on transmission and distribution modeling, forecasting in energy, energy auctions and markets, as well as risk management. The contributions are authored by recognized specialists in their fields and consist in either state-of-the-art reviews or examinations of state-of-the-art developments. The articles are not purely theoretical, but instead also discuss specific applications in power systems.

Regulation of the Power Sector is a unified, consistent and comprehensive treatment of the theories and practicalities of regulation in modern power-supply systems. The need for generation to occur at the time of use occasioned by the impracticality of large-scale electricity storage coupled with constant and often unpredictable changes in demand make electricity-supply systems large, dynamic and complex and their regulation a daunting task. Arranged in four parts, this book addresses both traditional regulatory frameworks and also liberalized and re-regulated environments. First, an introduction gives a full characterization of power supply including engineering, economic and regulatory vie...
The Ethics of Artificial Intelligence has two goals. The first goal is meta-theoretical and is fulfilled by Part One, which comprises the first three chapters: an interpretation of the past (Chapter 1), the present (Chapter 2), and the future of AI (Chapter 3). Part One develops the thesis that AI is an unprecedented divorce between agency and intelligence. On this basis, Part Two investigates the consequences of such a divorce, developing the thesis that AI as a new form of agency can be harnessed ethically and unethically. It begins (Chapter 4) by offering a unified perspective on the many principles that have been proposed to frame the ethics of AI. This leads to a discussion (Chapter 5) ...
Mit Ansteigen der Netzkosten stellt sich in zunehmendem Maße die Frage nach der Verteilung dieser Lasten. Die Energiewende sorgt im Netz für regionale und anschlussbezogene Verteilungseffekte, welche teils erhebliche Mehrbelastungen für die Netznutzer begründen. Die Zuordnung und Verteilung dieser Kosten ist Gegen-stand der Netzentgeltsystematik der Stromnetzentgeltverordnung (StromNEV). Die Arbeit geht der Frage nach, ob die gegenwärtige Netzentgeltsystematik heute noch zeitgemäße und faire Entgelte gewährleisten kann. Die Untersuchung zeigt dabei vielfältigen Reformbedarf auf. Untersucht werden die vertikale und horizontale Kostenwälzung, der Kreis der Entgeltschuldner sowie die Entgeltbildung und Tarifstrukturen der StromNEV.
Die Ziele eines Unternehmens bestehen größtenteils darin, Gewinn zu machen, seine Existenz zu sichern und die Erwartungen der Stakeholder zu erfüllen, aber jedes Unternehmen wird mit gewissen Risiken konfrontiert, die das Erreichen dieser Ziele auf unterschiedliche Weise beeinträchtigen können. Einige Risiken sind leicht zu handhaben, andere können existenzbedrohend sein. Die Anhäufung von globalen Wirtschaftskrisen, Betrug und Finanzskandalen, aber auch Terroranschlägen und Naturkatastrophen zeigt, dass Unternehmen sich immer größeren Herausforderungen als zuvor gegenüber sehen müssen und es wird deutlich, wie wichtig das Managen von Risiken geworden ist. Daher müssen Unternehm...
