About This Item
Englewood-Cliffs (NJ):: Prentice-Hall, (1973)., 1973. 8vo. xii, 563 pp. Numerous figs. and formulae. Original printed grey cloth, dust jacket. FINE. FIRST EDITION. "Throughout his career, Professor Schweppe maintained close contacts with power system operators in order to ensure the relevance of his work to their needs. His most notable contribution, for which he received international recognition, was his development of a methodology for estimating the operating state of power-system networks, a technique that makes it possible to evaluate network operating conditions at any instant in order to enhance reliability and control. As a result of this work, he gained the confidence and respect of power industry leaders, a major tribute from a conservative industry that is sometimes slow to respond to innovative ideas. His research on estimation techniques culminated in his book Uncertain Dynamic Systems, published in 1973. Toward the end of his career Professor Schweppe's research involved models for electricity spot-market pricing and an assessment of the effects of possible deregulation of the power industry, a most foresighted topic in light of deregulation policies that have recently been put into place. His spot pricing research is documented in Spot Pricing of Electricity, a book which he coauthored and which was published posthumously in 1988."
