Beskrivning

The book starts by examining the fundamentals and concepts of power systems, from analog to digital systems to the advent of smart grids. It explains the explosive adoption of renewable energy, its impact on existing transmission and distribution systems, and mitigation strategies, while also looking at the future grid. Finally, the book explores the advent of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR), its impact on existing grid optimization and control, its effects on generation, transmission, and distribution systems, utility business models, and the legal and regulatory space.Features:Walks the reader through power system evolution and grid modernization from analog to digital to 4IR systemsExplains the unique combination of 4IR and power systemsTies smart grid to related aspects of optimization, control, grid operation and emerging technologiesExplores power system control and optimization tools in depthExamines the exponential growth of renewables, challenges to the grid, opportunities and mitigation strategiesThis book is aimed at undergraduate students, graduate students, and researchers in power engineering and systems.
