A 21st century clean energy economy demands a 21st century
electricity grid, yet the communication networks of many utilities
today are ill-equipped for smart grid evolution.
This must-read text/reference presents an application-centric
approach to the development of smart grid communication
architecture and network transformation. The coverage includes
in-depth reviews of such cutting-edge applications as advanced
metering infrastructure, distribution automation, demand response,
and synchrophasors as well as more traditional utility applications
like SCADA systems. Providing detailed insights derived from the
authors pivotal research on smart grid communications and extensive
consulting experience, the book explains how electric power
companies can transform their networks to best meet the challenges
of tomorrow s smart grids.
Topics and features: examines a range of exciting utility
applications made possible through smart grid evolution; describes
the core-edge network architecture for smart grids, introducing the
concept of wide area and field area networks (WANs and FANs);
explains how the network design paradigm for smart grids differs
from that for more established data networks, and discusses network
security in smart grids; provides an overview of communication
network technologies for WANs and FANs, covering OPGW, PLC, and LTE
and MPLS technology; investigates secure data-centric data
management and data analytics for smart grids; discusses the
transformation of a network from conventional modes of utility
operation to an integrated network based on the smart grid
architecture framework.This comprehensive and practical guide will
be of great interest to all professionals engaged in the planning,
operation, and regulation of smart grids. Students studying courses
on smart grids will also find the book to be an invaluable
resource."
