Antonio J. Conejo, professor at The Ohio State University, OH, US, received an M.S. from MIT, US, and a Ph.D. from the Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden. He has published over 190 papers in SCI journals and is the author or coauthor of books published by Springer, John Wiley, McGraw-Hill and CRC. He has been the principal investigator of many research projects financed by public agencies and the power industry and has supervised 20 PhD theses. He is an IEEE Fellow. Luis Baringo, associate professor at the Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha, Ciudad Real, Spain, received his Industrial Engineering degree and his PhD in Electrical Engineering from the Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha, Spain, in 2009 and 2013, respectively. In 2014, he was a postdoctoral researcher at the Power Systems Laboratory, ETH Zurich, Switzerland. His research interests are in the fields of planning, operations, and economics of power systems.

Introduction.- Power system fundamentals: balanced three-phase circuits.- Power system components: models.- Power system steady-state operation: power flow.- Identifying the state of the power system: state estimation.- Power system secure operation: optimal power flow.- Centralized markets (à la US): day-ahead operation.- Decentralized markets (à la EU): day-ahead operation.
