SMART GRIDS - BERND M BUCHHOLZ ZBIGNIEW A STYCZ...

Nowadays  Smart Grid has become an established synonym for modern electric power systems.
Electric networks are fed less and less by large  centrally planned fossil and nuclear power
plants but more and more by millions of smaller  renewable and mostly weather-dependent
generation units. A secure energy supply in such a sustainable and ecological system requires a
completely different approach for planning  equipping and operating the electric power systems
of the future  especially by using flexibility provisions of the network users according to the
Smart Grid concept. The book brings together common themes beginning with Smart Grids and the
characteristics of power plants based on renewable energy with highly efficient generation
principles and storage capabilities. It covers the advanced technologies applied today in the
transmission and distribution networks and innovative solutions for maintaining today's high
power quality under the challenging conditions of large-scale shares of volatile renewable
energy sources in the annual energy balance. Besides considering the new primary and secondary
technology solutions and control facilities for the transmission and distribution networks 
prospective market conditions allowing network operators and the network users to gain benefits
are also discussed. The growing role of information and communication technologies is
investigated. The importance of new standards is underlined and the current international
efforts in developing a consistent set of standards are updated in the second edition and
described in detail. The updated presentation of international experiences to apply novel Smart
Grid solutions to the practice of network operation concludes this book.
