Description & Coverage
Description:

With the principles of business strategies in mind, the analysis of cost containment plans, project risk evaluation, and the wide-range of quality planning techniques is essential for the integration of renewable generation and capital-intense endeavors in the current electrical infrastructure.

Business Strategies for Electrical Infrastructure Engineering: Capital Project Implementation brings together research on informed-decision making within the strategic planning sphere of system integration. By highlighting social responsibility and environmental issues, this book is essential for technologically-literate executives, engineers, application analysts and many more interested in high-impact process evaluation.

Coverage:

The many academic areas covered in this publication include, but are not limited to:

  • Capital Planning
  • Capital Project Management and Progress Philosophy
  • Environmental Effect
  • Fiscal Management and Cost Avoidance Strategies
  • Informed Decision-Analysis
  • Operations Planning
  • Process Evaluation
  • Quality Improvement Techniques
  • Scenario analysis
  • System integration and challenges
Reviews & Statements

A specialist in the interface between electrical systems and business management, Wilson and Younis (optimization system and operations management, Wayne State U., Michigan) explore cost-effective methods for integrating renewable energy sources into existing electrical systems. Among their topics are the socioeconomic environment in wind turbine generator system integration, process evaluating and cost analysis mechanisms for equipment installation ventures, ordinal capital project ranking evaluation and the quality component, transmission line reconductoring process analysis, project management substation guidelines, and electrical contractor work comparisons.
