Written by an expert with vast experience in the field, this book explores the smart grid from generation to consumption, both as it is planned today and how it will evolve tomorrow. The book focuses upon what differentiates the smart grid from the \"traditional\" power grid as it has been known for the last century. Furthermore, the author provides the reader with a fundamental understanding of both power systems and communication networking. It shows the complexity and operational requirements of the evolving power grid, the so-called \"smart grid,\" to the communication networking engineer; and similarly, it shows the complexity and operational requirements for communications to the power systems engineer.   The book is divided into three parts. Part One discusses the basic operation of the electric power grid, covering fundamental knowledge that is assumed in Parts Two and Three. Part Two introduces communications and networking, which are critical enablers for the smart grid. It also considers how communication and networking will evolve as technology develops. This lays the foundation for Part Three, which utilizes communication within the power grid. Part Three draws heavily upon both the embedded intelligence within the power grid and current research, anticipating how and where computational intelligence will be implemented within the smart grid. Each part is divided into chapters and each chapter has a set of questions useful for exercising the readers' understanding of the material in that chapter.   Key Features:     Bridges the gap between power systems and communications experts Addresses the smart grid from generation to consumption, both as it is planned today and how it will likely evolve tomorrow Explores the smart grid from the perspective of traditional power systems as well as from communications Discusses power systems, communications, and machine learning that all define the smart grid It introduces the new field of power system information theory","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51219394429201,"sku":"NIN9781119975809","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51416835391761,"sku":"CIN1119975808G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52425445081361,"sku":"NLS9781119975809","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/B017N0L4LI.jpg?v=1750919555"},{"product_id":"active-networks-and-active-network-management-book-stephen-f-bush-9781475774856","title":"Active Networks and Active Network Management","description":"Active networking is an exciting new paradigm in digital  networking that has the potential to revolutionize the manner in which  communication takes place. It is an emerging technology, one in which  new ideas are constantly being formulated and new topics of research  are springing up even as this book is being written. This technology  is very likely to appeal to a broad spectrum of users from academia  and industry. Therefore, this book was written in a way that enables  all these groups to understand the impact of active networking in  their sphere of interest. Information services managers, network  administrators, and e-commerce developers would like to know the  potential benefits of the new technology to their businesses,  networks, and applications. The book introduces the basic active  networking paradigm and its potential impacts on the future of  information handling in general and on communications in particular.  This is useful for forward-looking businesses that wish to actively  participate in the development of active networks and ensure a head  start in the integration of the technology in their future products,  be they applications or networks. Areas in which active networking is  likely to make significant impact are identified, and the reader is  pointed to any related ongoing research efforts in the area.    The book also provides a deeper insight into the active networking  model for students and researchers, who seek challenging topics that  define or extend frontiers of the technology. It describes basic  components of the model, explains some of the terms used by the active  networking community, and provides the reader with taxonomy of the  research being conducted at the time this book was written. Current  efforts are classified based on typical research areas such as  mobility, security, and management. The intent is to introduce the  serious reader to the background regarding some of the models adopted  by the community, to outline outstanding issues concerning active  networking, and to provide a snapshot of the fast-changing landscape  in active networking research. Management is a very important issue in  active networks because of its open nature. The latter half of the  book explains the architectural concepts of a model for managing  active networks and the motivation for a reference model that  addresses limitations of the current network management framework by  leveraging the powerful features of active networking to develop an  integrated framework. It also describes a novel application enabled by  active network technology called the Active Virtual Network Management  Prediction (AVNMP) algorithm. AVNMP is a pro-active management system;  in other words, it provides the ability to solve a potential problem  before it impacts the system by modeling network devices within the  network itself and running that model ahead of real time.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52144634331409,"sku":"NLS9781475774856","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781475774856.jpg?v=1757589838"},{"product_id":"active-networks-and-active-network-management-book-stephen-f-bush-9780306465604","title":"Active Networks and Active Network Management","description":"Active networking is an exciting new paradigm in digital  networking that has the potential to revolutionize the manner in which  communication takes place.
