Smart Grid Applications, Communications, and Security

Beschreibung

Smart Grid Applications, Communications, and Security For many, smart grids are the biggest technological revolution since the Internet. They have the potential to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, increase the reliability of electricity supply, and increase the efficiency of our energy infrastructure. Smart Grid Applications, Communications, and Security explains how diverse technologies play hand-in-hand in building and maintaining smart grids around the globe. The book delves into the communication aspects of smart grids, provides incredible insight into power electronics, sensing, monitoring, and control technologies, and points out the potential for new technologies and markets. Extensively cross-referenced, the book contains comprehensive coverage in four major parts: * Part I: Applications provides a detailed introduction to smart grid applications-spanning the transmission, distribution, and consumer side of the electricity grid * Part II: Communications discusses wireless, wireline, and optical communication solutions-from the physical layers up to sensing, automation, and control protocols running on the application layers * Part III: Security deals with cyber security-sharpening the awareness of security threats, reviewing the ongoing standardization, and outlining the future of authentication and encryption key management * Part IV: Case Studies and Field Trials presents self-contained chapters of studies where the smart grid of tomorrow has already been put into practice With contributions from major industry stakeholders such as Siemens, Cisco, ABB, and Motorola, this is the ideal book for both engineering professionals and students.
Smart grids represent what many believe to be the next big technological revolution since the internet. Governments are pumping large sums of money into smart grid research, development and deployments. With the potential to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, increase reliability of electricity supply, and increase the efficiency of our energy infrastructure, it is clear that the advancement of these smart grids is an important and inevitable conclusion. This text will provide insight into the power electronics sensing, monitoring and control technologies, as well as deeply exploring the communication aspects of smart grids.
