Economic Market Design and Planning for Electric Power Systems

James Momoh was chair of the Electrical Engineering Department at Howard University and director of the Center for Energy Systems and Control. In 1987, Momoh received a National Science Foundation (NSF) Presidential Young Investigator Award. He is a Fellow of the IEEE, a Distinguished Fellow of the Nigerian Society of Engineers (NSE), and a Fellow of the Nigerian Academy of Engineering (NAE). His current research activities for utility firms and government agencies span several areas in systems engineering, optimization, and energy systems' control of terrestrial, space, and naval complex and dynamic networks. He has authored more than 225 technical papers in refereed journals, transactions, or proceedings, as well as several textbooks.
