Smart Grid: Fundamentals of Design and Analysis: 33 (IEEE Press Series on Power Engineering) - Tapa dura

A smart grid is an electrical grid that can monitor, predict,and intelligently respond to the behavior of all electric powersuppliers and consumers connected to it in order to deliverreliable and sustainable electricity services as efficiently aspossible. Smart Grid sets forth the fundamental analysis and designschemes for developing actual working smart grids. Readers willfind all the guidance, tools, and techniques needed to design smartgrids that meet the needs of government, industry, and consumers,including:

• Standards and requirements for designing essential devices,systems, and products

• Automation and computational techniques to design adaptablesmart grids

• Simulation tools for modeling smart grid performance

• Incorporation of sustainable and renewable energy sources

• Evaluation of different options for computational intelligence,communication technology, and decision support

Throughout the book, detailed examples of smart grid design anddevelopment strategies are provided based on different communityconstraints and energy needs.

Given the ever-rising costs of dwindling fossil fuel energysupplies, the need to provide sustainable energy as efficiently aspossible has never been greater. This pioneering book is amust-read for electrical and power engineering professionals andstudents, giving them the tools needed to move from the concept ofa smart grid to its actual design and implementation. Moreover, itwill enable regulators, policymakers, and energy executives tounderstand the future of energy delivery systems.
