"The smart electricity network includes an information infrastructure and infrastructure for the entire power supply chain, including the generation, transmission, delivery and consumption of electric power, i.e. system that delivers electricity from the place of production to the place of consumption. It enables two-way communication between suppliers and consumers, which makes the real-time optimization of the electricity network feasible. End users are allowed to adjust consumption based on their own needs. Electrical power is delivered through a distribution system, and information is exchanged over the Internet or a purpose-built network. Typical consumer groups are: residential, commercial, industrial. Applications in the smart power grid for end users are: automation of the house or building, automation in industry(control system for industrial processes, machines, warehouses, etc.),power supply of electric vehicles, micro generation (production system using solar panels, windmills, hydroelectric power plants). Trade of power in the smart electricity network takes place on the market (national and international), where prices are set and a balance is created between production and consumption. Service providers in the smart electricity network provide services that should enable the operation of electricity producers, distributors and consumers. They are most often organized as utility companies that provide the following services: customer relationship management, installation and maintenance, smart home and building management, billing. Smart grid operations in most countries are performed by state-controlled companies; parts of them are transferred to service providers or companies operating in the market. However, it is expected that planning and reliable operation will remain regulated even after the full implementation of the smart electricity network. Typical tasks in smart grids are: monitoring and control, troubleshooting, reporting, advanced analytics, operations planning, network development planning. Smart meters are used as a basic part of the user's smart electricity network, which enable the consumer to have an accurate insight into consumption at all times. The smart meters store the measured data internally, and the competent service providers access it through the infrastructure (for meter's management). The infrastructure for smart meter management should enable the integration of meters from different manufacturers and connection to the NAN (Neighborhood Area Network).This edition covers different topics from smart grids and sustainable energy, including: automation and control of smart grids, sustainability and energy efficiency, security and stability of smart grids, and intelligent implementation of smart grids"-- Back cover.
