Explore Business Functions and EngineeringPrinciples Associated with Electricity Pricing

This timely and accessible guide aids those involved inthe engineering and financial operations of electricpower systems to ensure reliable electric service at afair and reasonable cost. This "how to do it" guideexamines the relationship between electricity, cus-tomers, and service providers as it relates to pricing. Itclarifies valuable mathematical analysis techniques,realistic examples, and unique lessons passed alongfrom those inside the industry, presenting details thatare generally not found in contemporary literature.This book integrates information, methodologies, andtechniques from accounting, economics, engineering,finance, and marketing.

FEATURES

• Presents mathematical methods and techniquesused to establish electricity prices, determine costcausation, and evaluate pricing structures andmechanisms

• Examines pricing from the viewpoints of both cus-tomers and the utility

• Covers ways to translate and integrate cost ele-ments into practical pricing structures

• Explores key issues that utilities will confront asthey develop future electricity pricing methodolo-gies

• Details how engineering concepts are used toapportion production, delivery, and associatedcosts to determine cost of service and to supportall aspects of ratemaking strategy, design, analysis,and decision making

Standards,ConformityAssessment,andAccreditationfor EngineersRobert D. HunterRobert D. Hunter Associates,Austin, Texas, USA

Presenting information in a way that is easy to under-stand, this book discusses conformity assessment andaccreditation as defined in a new set of standards bythe ISO/IEC. Written by a licensed professional engi-neer with more than 25 years of experience, it pro-vides the tools to easily understand and comply withnew standards. This accessible resource not onlyaddresses the technical areas of standardization butalso the legal, economic, management, and educa-tion aspects. It covers required vocabulary and gath-ers references from the substantial yet scattered litera-ture on standards.

INDUSTRY APPLICATIONS


ReverseEngineeringTechnology ofReinventionWego WangUniversity of Massachusetts,Lowell, USA

“The topic of this book represents an importanttechnological field that has heretofore been ignoredby academics, despite being well accepted in indus-try. I am delighted by its publication.”—Professor Lavernia, Dean of Engineering at University

of California-Davis

Written to advance the technology of reinvention andimprove the competitiveness of commercial parts inthe aftermarket, this volume discusses the propermeasurements and analyses required to duplicate,reproduce, or repair an Original EquipmentManufacturer (OEM) part using modern reverse engi-neering technologies, as well as regulations that gov-ern the practice. Offering numerous real-world exam-ples, the book enables readers to determine if a dupli-cated or repaired part can meet the design function-ality of the original. Going beyond industrial manu-facturing, the book also looks at the use of reverseengineering in academic research and legal and foren-sic analyses.

FEATURES

• Aids readers in evaluating the feasibility of areverse engineering proposal or project

• Focuses on how to analyze the relevant propertiesfor materials identification, and the necessary datarequired for manufacturing process verification

• Explains statistical applications in data processingas they relate to reverse engineering

• Cites legal precedents on intellectual property andproprietary data, and discusses their effects onreverse engineering practice

CONTENTS

Geometrical Form. Material Characteristics andAnalysis. Part Durability and Life Limitation. MaterialIdentification and Process Verification. Data Processand Analysis. Part Performance and SystemCompatibility. Acceptance and Legality.


BusinessEssentials forUtilityEngineersRichard E. BrownVice President, QuantaTechnology, Cary, North Carolina, USA

“... The author does excellent work in organizing,describing, and explaining the business concepts. Allconcepts are clearly and accurately explained, andthe material is presented at an appropriate level ofcomplexity and depth ... informative and valuableas a reference book. I recommend the book to anyutility engineer responsible for planning, designing,managing, or maintaining utility infrastructure.”

—Robert E. Bisson, IEEE Power & Energy Magazine

It is no longer acceptable for engineers to makespending decisions simply because they make goodengineering sense—they must justify these decisionswith good business acumen. This book covers basicbusiness topics from the perspective of utility engi-neers, including regulation, ratemaking, accounting,finance, economics, budgeting, strategy, and assetmanagement. The text discusses the idiosyncrasies ofutilities, using mathematics and analytical geometryto demonstrate business concepts.

FEATURES

• Provides a solid foundation of business theory,describes how to properly apply this theory to util-ities, and teaches specific business skills that canbe used by utility engineers

• Enables utility engineers to combine good techni-cal analysis with good business analysis and tocommunicate to executives in a language thatthey understand

• Includes summary and study questions at the endof each chapter

CONTENTS

Utilities. Accounting. Economics. Finance. Risk.Financial Ratios. Ratemaking. Budgeting. Strategy.Asset Management.
