SMART GRIDS for SMART CITIES Written and edited by a team of
experts in the field, this first volume in a two-volume set focuses
on an interdisciplinary perspective on the financial,
environmental, and other benefits of smart grid technologies and
solutions for smart cities. What makes a regular electric grid a
“smart” grid? It comes down to digital technologies that enable
two-way communication between a utility and its customers, as
opposed to the traditional electric grid, where power flows in one
direction. Based on statistics and available research, smart grids
globally attract the largest investment venues in smart cities.
Smart grids and city buildings that are connected in smart cities
contribute to significant financial savings and improve the
economy. The smart grid has many components, including controls,
computers, automation, and new technologies and equipment working
together. These technologies cooperate with the electrical grid to
respond digitally to our quickly changing electric demand. The
investment in smart grid technology also has certain challenges.
The interconnected feature of smart grids is valuable, but it
tremendously increases their susceptibility to threats. It is
crucial to secure smart grids wherein many technologies are
employed to increase real-time situational awareness and the
ability to support renewables, as well as system automation to
increase the reliability, efficiency, and safety of the electric
grid. This exciting new volume covers all of these technologies,
including the basic concepts and the problems and solutions
involved with the practical applications in the real world. Whether
for the veteran engineer or scientist, the student, or a manager or
other technician working in the field, this volume is a must-have
for any library.
