How are the participants strategizing their options to maximize their revenues? What are the market risks and how are they evaluated? How are interchange transactions analyzed and approved? Starting with a background sketch of the industry, this hands-on reference provides insights into the new trends in power systems operation and control, and highlights advanced issues in the field.       Written for both technical and nontechnical professionals involved in power engineering, finance, and marketing, this must-have resource discusses:            Market structure and operation of electric power systems      Load and price forecasting and arbitrage      Price-based unit commitment and security constrained unit commitment      Market power analysis and game theory applications      Ancillary services auction market design      Transmission pricing and congestion      Using real-world case studies, this timely survey offers engineers, consultants, researchers, financial managers, university professors and students, and other professionals in the industry a comprehensive review of electricity restructuring and how its radical effects will shape the market.
