Real-time communication
Massive advancements in control systems, communication technologies, digital systems, and power electronics are altering the world’s traditional power systems. Although the Smart Grid makes use of cutting-edge engineering principles that boost efficiency inside the grid itself, new problems are emerging and need to be addressed.
For instance, the requirement for real-time communication to keep up with the ever-changing electrical needs of smart grid customers. Based on theoretical and experimental issues that traditional and advanced electric grids present, this guide demonstrates the principles of power systems that are the building blocks for comprehending the smart grid technology.
As an added bonus, this guide details the technological understanding new electrical engineers will need when working with power systems and smart grid technology.
Smart grid, on the other hand, is a novel idea for coordinating diverse systems including renewable power, transmission lines, traditional power plants, communications, SCADA systems, and so on.
