Smart Grid

The book is written as primer hand book for addressing thefundamentals of smart grid. It provides the working definition thefunctions, the design criteria and the tools and techniques andtechnology needed for building smart grid. The book is neededto provide a working guideline in the design, analysis anddevelopment of Smart Grid. It incorporates all the essentialfactors of Smart Grid appropriate for enabling the performance andcapability of the power system. There are no comparable books whichprovide information on the "how to" of the design andanalysis.

The book provides a fundamental discussion on the motivation forthe smart grid development, the working definition and the toolsfor analysis and development of the Smart Grid. Standards andrequirements needed for designing new devices, systems and productsare discussed
the automation and computational techniques need toensure that the Smart Grid guarantees adaptability, foresightalongside capability of handling new systems and components arediscussed. The interoperability of different renewable energysources are included to ensure that there will be minimum changesin the existing legacy system.

Overall the book evaluates different options of computationalintelligence, communication technology and decision support systemto design various aspects of Smart Grid. Strategies fordemonstration of Smart Grid schemes on selected problems arepresented.
