About this book

This book provides an overview of state-of-the-art research on “Systems and Optimization Aspects of Smart Grid Challenges.” The authors have compiled and integrated different aspects of applied systems optimization research to smart grids, and also describe some of its critical challenges and requirements.

The promise of a smarter electricity grid could significantly change how consumers use and pay for their electrical power, and could fundamentally reshape the current Industry. Gaining increasing interest and acceptance, Smart Grid technologies combine power generation and delivery systems with advanced communication systems to help save energy, reduce energy costs and improve reliability. Taken together, these technologies support new approaches for load balancing and power distribution, allowing optimal runtime power routing and cost management. Such unprecedented capabilities, however, also present a set of new problems and challenges at the technical and regulatory levels that must be addressed by Industry and the Research Community.

Reviews

From the reviews:

“This book, composed of chapters contributed by the leading people from academia and industry, provides an overview of the state-of-the-art research on optimization and security for smart electric grids and poses some challenges. … This book is meant for researchers in the field of electric grid, optimization and cyber security. It is a welcome addition to the area of infrastructure-related national security … .” (D. Subbaram Naidu, Amazon.com, April, 2014)
