Smart Grid: Communication-Enabled Intelligence for the Electric Power Grid (Hardcover)

Written by an expert with vast experience in the field, this book explores the smart grid from generation to consumption, both as it is planned today and how it will evolve tomorrow. The book focuses upon what differentiates the smart grid from the "traditional" power grid as it has been known for the last century. Furthermore, the author provides the reader with a fundamental understanding of both power systems and communication networking. It shows the complexity and operational requirements of the evolving power grid, the so-called "smart grid," to the communication networking engineer; and similarly, it shows the complexity and operational requirements for communications to the power systems engineer.

The book is divided into three parts. Part One discusses the basic operation of the electric power grid, covering fundamental knowledge that is assumed in Parts Two and Three. Part Two introduces communications and networking, which are critical enablers for the smart grid. It also considers how communication and networking will evolve as technology develops. This lays the foundation for Part Three, which utilizes communication within the power grid. Part Three draws heavily upon both the embedded intelligence within the power grid and current research, anticipating how and where computational intelligence will be implemented within the smart grid. Each part is divided into chapters and each chapter has a set of questions useful for exercising the readers' understanding of the material in that chapter.

Key Features:

• Bridges the gap between power systems and communications experts
• Addresses the smart grid from generation to consumption, both as it is planned today and how it will likely evolve tomorrow
• Explores the smart grid from the perspective of traditional power systems as well as from communications
• Discusses power systems, communications, and machine learning that all define the smart grid
• It introduces the new field of power system information theory

這本書通過新興領域的電力系統資訊理論，彌合了電力系統工程和計算機通信之間的鴻溝。

這本書由一位在該領域擁有豐富經驗的專家撰寫，探討了智能電網從發電到用電的全過程，包括目前的規劃和未來的發展。該書著重於智能電網與過去一個世紀以來被稱為「傳統」電網的區別。此外，作者還為讀者提供了對電力系統和通信網絡的基本理解。它展示了不斷演變的智能電網（也稱為「智慧電網」）對通信網絡工程師的複雜性和運營要求；同樣地，它也展示了通信對電力系統工程師的複雜性和運營要求。

該書分為三個部分。第一部分討論了電力網的基本運作，涵蓋了第二部分和第三部分所假設的基礎知識。第二部分介紹了通信和網絡，這是智能電網的關鍵推動因素。它還考慮了隨著技術發展，通信和網絡將如何演變。這為第三部分奠定了基礎，該部分利用通信在電力網中的應用。第三部分在很大程度上依賴於電力網內的嵌入式智能和當前的研究，預測了計算智能將如何在智能電網中實施。每個部分都分為章節，每個章節都有一組問題，有助於讀者對該章節的材料進行理解。
