Smart Grids and Their Communication Systems

The book presents a broad overview of emerging smart grid technologies and communication systems, offering a helpful guide for future research in the field of electrical engineering and communication engineering. It explores recent advances in several computing technologies and their performance evaluation, and addresses a wide range of topics, such as the essentials of smart grids for fifth generation (5G) communication systems. It also elaborates the role of emerging communication systems such as 5G, internet of things (IoT), IEEE 802.15.4 and cognitive radio networks in smart grids. The book includes detailed surveys and case studies on current trends in smart grid systems and communications for smart metering and monitoring, smart grid energy storage systems, modulations and waveforms for 5G networks. As such, it will be of interest to practitioners and researchers in the field of smart grid and communication infrastructures alike.

Presents detailed surveys for a wide variety of smart grids, wired and wireless communication technologies in a comprehensive way Provides an introduction to and detailed information on conventional and emerging communication technologies Highlights the latest research on 5G communication systems, Cognitive Radio Networks (CRNs), Internet of Things, and many more Discusses key issues related to the deployment and development of communication technologies
