Preface
One of the largest, or perhaps, the largest scale system ever made, is the electric grid with its numerous components, called a power system. Over decades, power systems have evolved to the systems which may cover countries or even continents. From one side, the behaviors, modeling and operation of the basic components of a power system should be understood and recognized. That is why so many books are published to address such issues. On the other hand, once the system as a whole is observed, its analysis, operation and planning deserve special considerations. While analysis and to some extent, operation of power systems have received attention in literature and in terms of text books, power system planning is not rich from this viewpoint. This book is intended to cover this issue. While the importance of power system planning can not be overstated, writing a text book on this issue is not an easy task due to some, but not limited to, reasons as follows • Planning horizon is from short to long periods. The issues of concern are not the same; although some may be similar. • Utilities and experts may think of a specific planning term quite differently. For instance, one may think of long-term power system planning to cover 20 years onward, while the other may consider it as 5–15 years. • While the basics of say, load flow in a book on power system analysis, or Automatic Generation Co
