SMART GRID AND ENABLING TECHNOLOGIES Discover foundational topics
in smart grid technology as well as an exploration of the current
and future state of the industry As the relationship between fossil
fuel use and climate change becomes ever clearer, the search is on
for reliable, renewable and less harmful sources of energy.
Sometimes called the "electronet" or the "energy Internet," smart
grids promise to integrate renewable energy, information, and
communication technologies with the existing electrical grid and
deliver electricity more efficiently and reliably. Smart Grid and
Enabling Technologies delivers a complete vision of smart grid
technology and applications, including foundational and fundamental
technologies, the technology that enables smart grids, the current
state of the industry, and future trends in smart energy. The book
offers readers thorough discussions of modern smart grid
technology, including advanced metering infrastructure, net zero
energy buildings, and communication, data management, and networks
in smart grids. The accomplished authors also discuss critical
challenges and barriers facing the smart grid industry as well as
trends likely to be of importance in its future development.
Readers will also benefit from the inclusion of: A thorough
introduction to smart grid architecture, including traditional
grids, the fundamentals of electric power, definitions and
classifications of smart grids, and the components of smart grid
technology An exploration of the opportunities and challenges posed
by renewable energy integration Practical discussions of power
electronics in the smart grid, including power electronics
converters for distributed generation, flexible alternating current
transmission systems, and high voltage direct current transmission
systems An analysis of distributed generation Perfect for
scientists, researchers, engineers, graduate students, and senior
undergraduate students studying and working with electrical power
systems and communication systems. Smart Grid and Enabling
Technologies will also earn a place in the libraries of economists,
government planners and regulators, policy makers, and energy
stakeholders working in the smart grid field.
