Product Description
Electricity systems worldwide are currently in a phase of change. The traditional centralized supply systems with a low number of large generators feeding millions of loads are more and more supplemented with distributed energy resources. These can be small generators, but also energy storages and especially active consumers. The future smart grid will much more rely on information and communication technology than today. The idea of demand side management, i.e. remote management of electrical loads in power grids is not new, but it was never of such importance as today that consumers actively contribute to grid operation. This work, targeting engineers and scientists in this area, proposes a concr… More >>

The Green Guide to Power: Thinking Outside the Grid
Category General
Product Description
In an era where new energy creation is critical, Bowman’s book is meant to inform and to guide. “The Green Guide to Power: Thinking Outside the Grid” is not a “good-guy”- “bad-guy” story. It discusses the importance of energy creation and energy distribution both globally and here in the US. Without minimizing conservation efforts, Bowman raises awareness that new alternative energy sources are in dire need. The immediacy of the energy challenge is finding all of us. The inability to access reliable, cost effective and carbon neutral power is affecting individuals, businesses and the planet at large. “Thinking Outside the Grid” is designed to help the lay person understand the energy conundrum. Bowman’s … More >>

Strengthening the Grid: Effect of High Temperature Superconducting Power Technologies on Reliability, Power Transfer Capacity and Energy Use.
Category General
Product Description
The slow growth of power transmission systems relative to the large growth in demand for power has played a major role in higher electricity prices and reduced reliability in a number of areas across the United States in recent years. This book evaluates the potential of high-temperature superconducting (HTS) power technologies to address existing problems with the U.S. electric power transmission grid, especially problems with transmission constraints. Among other findings, the authors conclude that HTS underground cables provide an attractive retrofit option for urban areas that have existing underground transmission circuits while avoiding the expense of new excavation to increase capacity. When operated at … More >>

Smart Grid: Modernizing Electric Power Transmission and Distribution; Energy Independence, Storage and Security; Energy Independence and Security Act of … Reliability, and Resiliency; Integra
Product Description
“Smart Grid,” compiled by TheCapitol.Net The electric grid delivers electricity from points of generation to consumers, and the electricity delivery network functions via two primary systems: the transmission system and the distribution system. The transmission system delivers electricity from power plants to distribution substations, while the distribution system delivers electricity from distribution substations to consumers. The grid also encompasses myriads of local area networks that use distributed energy resources to serve local loads and/or to meet specific application requirements for remote power, municipal or district power, premium power, and critical loads protection. The concept of a “sm… More >>
