Frequency-Responsive Load Management in Electric Power Grids: A Technical Concept for Demand Response in Smart Grids
Category General
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 Smart Grid: Enabling Energy Efficiency and Demand Response
Product Description
The power system has often been cited as the greatest and most complex machine ever built, yet it is predominantly a mechanical system. Technologies and intelligent systems are now available that can significantly enhance the overall functionality of power distribution and make it ready to meet the needs of the 21st century. This book explains how sensors, communications technologies, computational ability, control, and feedback mechanisms can be effectively combined to create this new, continually adjusting “smart grid” system. It provides an understanding of both IntelliGridSM architecture and EnergyPortSM as well as how to integrate intelligent systems to achieve the goals of reliability, cost containment, e… More >>

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 >>
