A smart grid is an
electrical grid which includes a variety of operational and energy measures
including smart meters, smart appliances, renewable energy resources, and
energy efficient resources. Electronic power conditioning and control of the
production and distribution of electricity are important aspects of the smart
grid.
In the present
book, fifteen typical literatures about Smart Grid published on
international authoritative journals were selected to introduce the worldwide
newest progress, which contains reviews or original researches on civil
application, industry, business, ect. We hope this book can
demonstrate advances in Smart Grid as well as give references to the
researchers, students and other related people.
