This book presents a cross-disciplinary approach to smart grids,
offering an invaluable basis for understanding their complexity and
potential, and for discussing their technical, legal, economic,
societal, psychological and security aspects. Smart grids are a
complex phenomenon involving new, active roles for consumers and
prosumers, novel social, political and cultural practices, advanced
ICT, new markets, security of supply issues, the informational turn
in energy, valuation of assets and investments, technological
innovation and (de)regulation. Furthermore, smart grids offer new
interfaces, in turn creating hybrid fields: with the increasing use
of electric vehicles and electric transportation, smart grids
represent the crossroads of energy and mobility. While the aim is
to achieve more sustainable production, transportation and use of
energy, the importance of smart grids actually has less to do with
electricity, heat or gas, and far more with transforming the
infrastructure needed to deliver energy, as well as the roles of
its owners, operators and users. The immediate goal is to
contribute positively to a sustainable world society. The chapters
are revised and expanded texts based upon lectures delivered at the
Groningen Energy Summer School 2014. Questions for further
discussion at the end of each chapter highlight the key themes that
emerge. The book offers an indispensable resource for researchers,
professionals and companies in the power supply industry, and for
students seeking to broaden and deepen their understanding of smart
grids.
