The book titled "Integrated Operation of Electricity and Gas Networks", authored by Mohammad Taqi Amali, Professor at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering (Control and Power) in Shahid Beheshti University; Mohammad Mahdi Davari, a PhD student in Shahid Beheshti University; and Dr. Hossein Amali, a senior researcher in Imperial College London, has been published recently by SBU press in 208 pages.
Utilizing electricity and gas networks is one of the most important ways to ensure energy supply and delivery to consumers. Simultaneous operation of these networks is a vital step toward increasing efficiency in the energy transition, enabling optimal use of the capacities of both systems.
Recent research has introduced methods such as converting electricity to gas (hydrogen) and injecting it into the gas network, as well as converting gas back to electricity for industrial and residential use. This approach addresses the issue of overproduction in renewable energy plants and significantly enhances system reliability by storing produced gas for peak consumption times and emergencies.
The book " Integrated Operation of Electricity and Gas Networks" is structured into seven chapters. In these chapters, the authors introduce fundamental concepts and optimal operational methods for electricity and gas networks, providing various solutions for their integrated management. The discussions encompass diverse topics, including resource optimization, load management, storage technologies, and innovative practices in the operation of electricity and gas networks, as well as the political and administrative structures of energy management in different countries.
By presenting specialized content, the book aims to help readers better understand complex concepts and apply them effectively. Given its potential to foster a deeper understanding of the field and identify innovative solutions for optimal operation, this book is considered a valuable resource for students, engineers, managers, and anyone interested in the integrated management of power and gas networks.
