ABOUT THIS BOOKThe electric grid of the future is already taking shape, with many paradigm shifts driven by the integration of information and communication technology, the large deployment of renewable generation and large loads, and infrastructure changes. Power systems as we know them today are becoming increasingly multi-layered, shaped by physical constraints and advancements in grid technology. This means legacy systems need to adapt by implementing innovations such as decentralized control, adaptable infrastructure, and other smart grid solutions.
