Smart Grid Evolution explores the vital intersection of renewable energy integration and smart grid technologies, essential for creating a sustainable energy future.
The book addresses how to effectively incorporate variable renewable resources, such as solar and wind, into existing electricity networks.
It highlights the importance of advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) and wide-area monitoring systems (WAMS) in enhancing grid control and resilience.
The book begins by tracing the evolution of traditional power grids and the challenges they face with increasing renewable energy adoption.
It then delves into the principles of smart grid design, examining economic and regulatory aspects like market design and policy frameworks.
One key insight is that successful renewable energy integration requires a holistic approach, transforming how electricity is produced, delivered, and consumed.
The book progresses through technological aspects, economic dimensions, and real-world case studies.
This comprehensive approach sets Smart Grid Evolution apart, offering a unique perspective valuable to electrical engineers, energy professionals, and policymakers involved in shaping future energy systems.
