BIG DATA APPLICATION IN POWER SYSTEMS 2ED (PB 2024)

Big Data Application in Power Systems, Second Edition presents a thorough update of the previous volume, providing readers with step-by-step guidance in big data analytics utilization for power system diagnostics, operation, and control. Divided into three parts, this book begins by breaking down the big picture for electric utilities before zooming in to examine theoretical problems and solutions in detail. Finally, the third section provides case studies and applications, demonstrating solution troubleshooting and design from a variety of perspectives and for a range of technologies.

Bringing back a team of global experts and drawing on fresh, emerging perspectives, this book provides cutting-edge advice for meeting today’s challenges in this rapidly accelerating area of power engineering.
Readers will develop new strategies and techniques for leveraging data towards real-world outcomes.

• Provides a total refresh to include the most up-to-date research, developments, and challenges
• Focuses on practical techniques, including rapidly modernizing monitoring systems, measurement data availability, big data handling and machine learning approaches for processing high dimensional, heterogeneous, and spatiotemporal data
• Engages with cross-disciplinary lessons, drawing on the impact of intersectional technology including statistics, computer science, and bioinformatics
• Includes five brand new chapters on hot topics, ranging from uncertainty decision-making to features, selection methods, and the opportunities provided by social network data
