Smart grid communications and networking / [edited by] Ekram Hossain, Zhu Han, H. Vincent Poor. Includes bibliographical references and index.

Are cellular M2M communications suitable for smart grid applications?

The authors argue that the cellular M2M communications technologies are suitable for smart grid applications such as wide-area situational awareness, interconnection of distributed energy resources, and distribution automation in the transmission and distribution networks.

What is the relevance of smart grid?

The relevance of smart grid is reflected by the increasing number of national and inter-national projects on this topic as well as new initiatives by standardization bodies and organizations such as NIST, EPRI, ECR, and the IEEE. There have been several smart grid field trials in the last few years.

What is a smart power grid?

The smart power grid (or smart grid in short) refers to the next-generation electrical power grid that aims to provide reliable, efficient, secure, and quality energy generation/distribution/consumption using modern information, com-munications, and electronics technology.

What is the role of data communication and networking in smart grid?

Advanced data communication and networking techniques will play a key role in the successful development of the emerging smart grid system. The communication net-work in the smart grid must be able to support all aspects of generation, transmission, distribution, as well as the requirements of users and utility service providers.
