Electric power systems worldwide face radical transformation
with the need to decarbonise electricity supply, replace ageing
assets and harness new information and communication technologies
(ICT). The Smart Grid uses advanced ICT to control next generation
power systems reliably and efficiently. This authoritative guide
demonstrates the importance of the Smart Grid and shows how ICT
will extend beyond transmission voltages to distribution networks
and customer-level operation through Smart Meters and Smart
Homes.

Smart Grid Technology and Applications:

* Clearly unravels the evolving Smart Grid concept with extensive
illustrations and practical examples.

* Describes the spectrum of key enabling technologies required
for the realisation of the Smart Grid with worked examples to
illustrate the applications.

* Enables readers to engage with the immediate development of the
power system and take part in the debate over the future Smart
Grid.

* Introduces the constituent topics from first principles,
assuming only a basic knowledge of mathematics, circuits and power
systems.

* Brings together the expertise of a highly experienced and
international author team from the UK, Sri Lanka, China and
Japan.

Electrical, electronics and computer engineering researchers,
practitioners and consultants working in inter-disciplinary Smart
Grid RD&D will significantly enhance their knowledge through
this reference. The tutorial style will greatly benefit final year
undergraduate and master's students as the curriculum
increasing focuses on the breadth of technologies that contribute
to Smart Grid realisation.
