The Smart Grid is a modern electricity network that enables distributed, renewable, and intermittent generation, often partially owned by consumers. To ensure high-quality power supply and secure generation, transmission, and distribution, it relies on advanced control and communication technologies. This book provides a comprehensive overview of these emerging technologies.
Topics include an introduction to smart grid architecture; communications and standards; measurement and sensing devices; wide-area monitoring systems; bad data detection; optimal energy management; communication and control strategies; smart consumer systems; the role of energy storage; integration and optimization of plug-in vehicles; multi-agent-based control; compressive sensing for security and reliability; optimal placement of FACTS devices; security analysis; and smart grid policies and regulations.
With contributions from leading researchers in computer, communication, and power engineering, this book is essential reading for researchers, advanced students, and practitioners working in modern power grids.
