All basic knowledge is provided for the Energy Engineers and the Electrical, Electronics, Computer and Instrumentation Engineering students, who work or wish to work, in Smart Grid and Microgrid area. It benefits them in obtaining essential and required understanding of the Smart Grid, from perceptions to actualisation.
The book:
·Presents the Smart Grid from abstraction to materialization.
·Covers power grid networks, including how they are developed and deployed for power delivery and other Smart Grid services.
·Discusses power systems, advanced communications, and required machine learning that define the Smart Grid.
· Clearly differentiates the Smart Grid from the traditional power grid as it has been for the last century.
·Provides the reader with a fundamental understanding of both physical-cyber-security and computer networking.
·Presents the complexity and operational requirements of the evolving Smart Grid to the ICT professional and presents the same for ICT to the energy engineers.
·Provides a detailed description of the cyber vulnerabilities and mitigation techniques of the Smart Grid.
·Provides essential information for technocrats to make progress in the field and to allow power system engineers to optimize communication systems for the Smart Grid.
·Is a suitable material for the undergraduate and post graduate students of electrical engineering to learn the fundamentals of Smart Grid.
