This book describes the fundamental aspects of the new generationof electrical distribution grids, taking as its starting point theopportunities that exist for restructuring existing infrastructure.It emphasizes the incorporation of renewable energy sources intothe distribution grid and the need for a technological evolutiontowards the implementation of smartgrids.
The book is organized into two parts: the first part analyzes theintegration of distributed energy sources into the distributiongrid and the impact of these sources on grid operation. After ageneral description of the general characteristics of distributiongrids and renewable energy sources, it then analyzes the economicsof electrical energy distribution networks and presents the impactof these sources on grid operation. The second part of the bookthen analyzes the various functions which allow for safe operationof the grid and realization of the path towards real worldapplication of smartgrids.

"This book offers a comprehensive and thorough exploration of boththeoretical and practical tools needed for a new "intelligentenergy network," typically referred to as a smart grid. . . Thebook should particularly interest researchers and engineersinvolved in the development of the new, more flexible and reliabledistribution system of the future." (Book News, 1 October 2011)
