Course Introduction
Power Optimization of Energy Management System
The efficient and economically optimal operation of electric power generation systems has always been a cornerstone of the power industry. Historically, fuel costs accounted for approximately 20% of total revenues for U.S. electric utilities. However, the oil embargo of 1973 and subsequent fuel price escalations have intensified the need for advanced optimization techniques in power system operations.
This course addresses critical engineering challenges that have gained renewed importance in recent years. While traditional economic dispatch problems for thermal systems were solved decades ago, the advent of deregulated markets, advanced computational tools, and sophisticated algorithms has transformed the landscape. Today, power system optimization involves not only optimal dispatch but also pricing commodities, market settlements, and hedging strategies.
This course provides a comprehensive, skill-building overview of optimization techniques, including linear and nonlinear methods, optimal power flow, locational marginal pricing, and auction-based hedging instruments. It is designed to equip power professionals with the knowledge and tools needed to succeed in today’s dynamic and competitive energy markets.
