"Version: 20150201"--Title page verso.Includes bibliographical references.Preface -- Acknowledgement -- Author biography -- The future of electric power systems -- Advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) and general operational and communication issues -- Reliability principles -- Advanced metering and demand response applications -- Improvement of service reliability and optimization of energy delivery (asset management) -- The use of the utility communication network for monitoring power quality problems -- Different types of communication systems for utility applications -- Comparisons of technologies -- New issues facing smart grids -- Conclusions."As power generation and demand develops, adopting and integrating communication and information technology to improve the reliability, efficiency and sustainability of power networks becomes essential. With the US Smart Grid market having doubled in size between 2009 and 2014, this concise book, written by a leading industry researcher, is very timely. This book is a handbook for advanced applications design and integration of new and future technologies into Smart Grids for researchers and engineers in academia and industry, looking to pull together disparate technologies and apply them for greater gains. The book covers Smart Grids as the midpoint in the generation, storage, transmission and distribution process through to database management, communication technologies, intelligent devices and synchronisation."Professional and scholarly.Also available in print.Mode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: Adobe Acrobat Reader.Sioe T. Mak received his Diploma in Electrical Engineering from the University of Indonesia, the MSc and PhD in EE from the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago. He was Senior Staff Scientist at the Distribution Control Systems, Inc., a subsidiary of ESCO Technologies Corp. He served on many IEEE Committees, published numerous papers in the area of EHV Pole Fires, High Voltage Insulation Contamination and Power Frequency Communication Technology. He is also involved with Communication Infrastructure Studies, Reliability and Life of Electric Equipment, Remote Metering and Distribution Automation and Power Quality. He holds US and world-wide patents in the area of PLC technology (TWACS), currently used in the USA by many electric utilities for AMI and Distribution Automation. He is also an IEEE Life Fellow.Title from PDF title page (viewed on March 3, 2015).
