Optimal management for electrical loads and its applications

The book "Optimal Management for Electrical Loads and Its Applications" by Ahmed Abou Elkheir provides a comprehensive examination of cost-efficient generation and maintenance planning for an interconnected 220KV network. It utilizes the GAMS software, which proves to be particularly suitable for these applications. The author highlights the matrix communication among the various stakeholders involved in generation and maintenance, demonstrating how optimal planning and close collaboration can lead to a reduction in the time required to resolve network issues as well as a decrease in generation costs. Through interviews with the involved parties, misunderstandings are identified and strategies for overcoming challenges are discussed. Additionally, the automation of substations is addressed, along with its potential impact on cost reduction in operations and maintenance, especially in the context of advancing computer technology and the internet.
