Biography
Isa S. Qamber, PhD, is a Professor in the Electrical and Electronics Engineering Department at the University of Bahrain. Prior to that, he was Dean of the College of Applied Studies, University of Bahrain, and Dean of Scientific Research from 2011 to 2014. He is a senior member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers and established and chaired the IEEE Bahrain Section. Dr. Qamber received his BSc degree in electrical engineering from King Saud University, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia; his MSc degree from the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology, United Kingdom; and his PhD degree in reliability engineering from the University of Bradford, UK.
"Professor Qamber is a well-known scientist and academician in the field of electrical power engineering. In this book, he presents applications of probability methods and concepts in the field of electric power systems reliability. These concepts are very useful not only to power systems reliability engineering but also to other reliability engineering fields. In addition, the textbook covers power systems control, unit commitment, economic dispatch, and load forecasting. In addition to literature review and recent references, the text is supplemented by numerous solved examples. Therefore, the book is useful to undergraduate and graduate students, researchers, as well as practicing engineers.”
