Power System Flexibility

Provides a consolidated foundation in the design, planning, and operation of intermittent highly renewable power systems—integrating core theory, mathematical analysis, and modern international applications in an unusually multidisciplinary approach.

Opening with an expansive theoretical grounding in the definition, analysis, and modeling of power systems, the book demonstrates how to apply flexibility theory to critical problems involving intermittency and variability in power system planning and operation. The guide concludes with an international complement of case studies, demonstrating how flexibility theory has been applied to real-world projects of increasing complexity.
