Smart Grid Infrastructure & Networking

A complete guide to smart grid networking and communications for energy engineers Smart Grid Infrastructure & Networkingdescribes network technologies for smart grids, including details on standardization, applications, protocols, wireless, wireline, and fiber optic communications. Architecture, management, and other topics are also discussed. Smart grids have the potential to reduce carbon dioxide emissions through the integration of renewable energy resources, energy storage, and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. They can increase the reliability of the electricity supply and render the utilization of power generation stations and electricity transport infrastructure more efficient by enabling dynamic pricing and demand/response strategies.
