Communication and networking in smart grids (with CD-ROM)

This book describes state-of-the-art approaches and novel technologies for communication networks in smart grids. Examining how contemporary grid networks are developed and deployed, it discusses how communication and networking will play significant roles in building future smart grids. Complete with a CD-ROM, the textexplains power delivery and other services provided by Smart Grid. Other topics covered include management of locally generated powers in micro grids, communication network design, SCADA, smart meters, communication architecture, and ontology-based resource description and discovery framework for low Carbon grid networks.
