Overview

Hierarchical Modeling of Energy Systems presents a detailed methodology for hierarchical modeling of large-scale complex systems with a focus on energy systems and their expansion planning and control. General methodological principles of hierarchical modeling are analyzed, and based on this analysis, a generalized technology for the hierarchical approach is presented. The mathematical foundations of decomposition and bi-level programming, as well as the possibility of using information technologies are also considered. The theoretical propositions are demonstrated by numerous hierarchical modeling examples aimed at planning the development of the energy sector and expansion of energy systems, analyzing, and optimizing these systems, and controlling their operation. In addition, codes and sample simulations are included throughout. This is an invaluable guide for researchers, engineers, and other specialists involved in the development, control and management of energy systems, while the summary of fundamental principles and concepts in energy modeling makes this an accessible learning tool for graduate students on any course involving energy systems or energy modeling.

Author Information

N.I. Voropai was a renowned expert in the field of energy systems research. He was an author, and co-author of more than 700 published research contributions. He identified and investigated the fundamental features of complex extended electric power systems. This allowed explaining multiple phenomena and processes, such as system accidents, based on clear physical representations and developing theoretical foundations for the analysis and synthesis of structurally heterogeneous power interconnections. These achievements laid off the methodological backbone of research efforts by a school of thought that still leads its field to this day. He successfully supervised over 20 PhD students. V.A. Stennikov is one of the leading experts in the field of heat and power systems, the developer of the methodology for modeling, calculating, optimizing pipeline systems in the energy sector, managing their development and operation, and district heating systems. His work significantly increases the level of validity and effectiveness of decision making on the development and reconstruction of energy systems, and their management and control. He is an author, and co-author of more than 600 published research contributions.
