The Handbook of CO2in Power Systems´ objective is to include the state-of-the-art developments that occurred in power systems taking CO2emission into account. The book includes power systems operation modeling with CO2emissions considerations, CO2market mechanism modeling, CO2regulation policy modeling, carbon price forecasting, and carbon capture modeling. For each of the subjects, at least one article authored by a world specialist on the specific domain is included.
