Advancement in power system engineering education and research with power industry moving towards deregulation

This paper presents the advancement in power system engineering education and research with power industry moving towards deregulation. Deregulation is a relatively recent concept, whose economic, regulatory and implementation structure continues to be adopted to the specific needs of each nation. For example, price based unit commitment and optimal power flow solutions with bidding generations and loads characteristics in the present scenario are totally different compared to a regulated set up. Hence adequate exposes towards power engineering curriculum and new software tools are needed to support new activities in the modern power pools.
