Placing emphasis on practical "how-to" guidance, this
cutting-edge resource provides you with a first-hand, insider’s
perspective on the advent and evolution of smart grids in the 21st century
(smart grid 1.0). You gain a thorough understanding of the building blocks
that comprise basic smart grids, including power plant, transmission
substation, distribution, and meter automation. Moreover, this
forward-looking volume explores the next step of this technology’s
evolution. It provides a detailed explanation of how an advanced smart
grid incorporates demand response with smart appliances and management
mechanisms for distributed generation, energy storage, and electric
vehicles.
The Advanced Smart Grid uses the design and
construction of the first citywide smart grid in the US as a case study,
sharing the many successes and lessons learned. You gain working knowledge
of successful tools and best practices that are needed to overcome diverse
technological and organizational challenges as you strive to build a
next-generation advanced smart grid (smart grid 2.0). Additionally, this
unique book offers a glimpse at the future with interconnected advanced
smart grids and a redesigned energy ecosystem (smart grid
3.0).
What others say
about it:
"The
Advanced Smart Grid is far and away the best book yet about the smart grid.
Just the right blend between theory and practice. I especially appreciate
the way Carvallo and Cooper talk not just about what smart grid is today,
but also about what it could and should be tomorrow. And about why and how
to start with a solid foundation capable of carrying the weight of those
larger ambitions. Must reading." – Jesse
Berst, Smart Grid
News
“The
Advanced Smart Grid is the visionary book on smart grids. It
is the right book for these times. If you read only one book on the
smart grid – you have already picked the right one.” – William R.
Moroney, Former President & Chief Executive Officer Utilities Telecom
Council
“In The
Advanced Smart Grid, Andres Carvallo and John Cooper give us
insight into how the evolution and integration of ICT and the electric
system will power our 21st century economy.” – George W.
Arnold, National Coordinator for Smart Grid Interoperability at NIST and
U.S. Department of Commerce
“Carvallo
and Cooper deliver in The Advanced Smart Grid a practical approach and candid opinions that bring clarity
to the advancement of Smart Grid.” –
Guido Bartels, Chairman, Global Smart
Grid Federation; Board Member and Former Chairman, Gridwise Alliance; and
Member of the Electricity Advisory Committee, US Department of
Energy
“Carvallo and Cooper have written a thought-provoking and holistic view of
the future history of the smart grid. This is an important read for
anyone interested in the intersection of innovation with the democratization
of energy.” – Laura Ipsen, SVP/GM, Connected Energy, Cisco
Systems
“Carvallo and Cooper have written a book that is long
overdue, as smart grid made its way into the public lexicon before it had
a chance to be understood or defined. Their cogent explanation and
perspective will help both technical and non technical players navigate
the confusing world of smart grid. Public policy around this
multi-billion dollar industry could benefit significantly.” --
Laura Doll, ERCOT Board of Directors Chairman
"Smart Grid has entered the popular lexicon, but it
is the rare individual that can actually explain its meaning, rationale,
and potential. Carvallo and Cooper concisely provide a compelling
read for layperson and expert alike." --
Paul Hudson, Former Texas Public
Utility Commission Chairman
"The
Advanced Smart Grid: Edge Power Driving Sustainability is a
timely, comprehensive and insightful overview of the powerful potential
that a truly advanced smart grid has in the U.S. power industry.
Carvallo and Cooper deliver a must-read for anyone interested in the
promise and capability of these fast-evolving networks - from novices to
seasoned professionals." –
Laura Chappelle, Former Michigan Public Service
Commission Chairman
“The emergence
and growth of the Smart Grid is a development that affects us all and
requires our ongoing attention and understanding in order to fully realize
the benefits and opportunities. Carvallo and Cooper deliver in
The Advanced Smart Grid: Edge Power Driving Sustainability an excellent resource to heighten our
understanding and bring this important infrastructure integration concept
to the next level and beyond.” –
Stuart R. Bell, Dean of the School of
Engineering at the University of Kansas
"The
Advanced Smart Grid by Carvallo and Cooper should be required
reading for anyone attempting to get up to speed quickly with respect to
the smart grid" –
Rick Nicholson, Group Vice President, IDC Energy
Insights
"The Advanced Smart Grid
represents a valuable perspective for utility executives and
engineers, investment bankers, technology vendors, university professors,
and graduate and undergraduate engineering students working on Smart
Grid." –
Rajit Gadh, Professor at the Henry Samuel School of Engineering
and Applied Sciences at the University of California Los
Angeles
"Carvallo and Cooper share an excellent introduction
to Smart Grid technologies, focusing on the essential role of a systematic
approach to telecommunications, and including visions of future exciting
scenarios." –
Ross Baldick, Professor at the Department of Engineering and
Computer Engineering at The University of Texas at
Austin
"Carvallo and Cooper show enthusiasm and share
extensive knowledge of emerging Smart Grids and future possibilities. They
present challenges of distributed generation, dealing with the plethora of
data, and balancing grid operation and consumer privacy. They use their
extensive 'hands on' experiences to describe how to build a smart grid and
list techniques for others." –
Gary J. Minden, Information and
Telecommunications Technology Center at The University of
Kansas
“The
Advanced Smart Grid: Edge Power Driving
Sustainability presents a compelling roadmap for anyone who
wants to learn how they can participate in building this future." –
Brewster McCraken, Executive Director, Pecan Street
Project
"Carvallo
and Cooper walk us down a path from yesterday's Smart Grid 1.0 (birthed at
Austin Energy in Texas), to today's 2.0 versions growing in Austin and
around the world, enabled by advances in distributed energy resources
(DER), energy storage solutions, new business models and more. Ultimately,
they begin to unveil for us a blurry but emerging vision of Smart Grid
3.0, or "the advanced Smart Grid", that's predicated on pervasive IP
networking, tons and tons of data, microgrids, EVs and virtual power
plants." – Andy Bockman, IBM
