Presents an up-to-date overview of resilient communication networks for smart electric power grids

Smart electric power grids require reliable communication networks to maintain efficiency, security, and stability. The interconnected nature of these systems creates unique challenges, including cascading failures, natural disasters, and network congestion. Despite the importance of building communication networks to connect the next generation of smart power grids, existing literature is lacking in both depth and relevance. Communication Networks in Smart Power Grids bridges this gap, offering a robust examination of cutting-edge technologies and techniques for ensuring uninterrupted data transmission.

In this authoritative volume, author Boyang Zhou provides a detailed exploration of smart grid communication channels, focusing on Quality of Service (QoS) requirements and the resilience necessary to counter data loss, network failures, and delays. Addressing a wide range of key topics, from Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems to high payload packet loss mitigation, the author presents practical strategies and solutions for fortifying data transport layers. Throughout the book, Zhou introduces cutting-edge research techniques to address communication link failures, link flooding attacks (LFAs), cascading grid failures, and other critical issues.

Offering innovative approaches to building the next generation of smart grid communication networks, this essential resource:

• Provides a comprehensive examination of the design and implementation of highly resilient communication networks in smart electric power grids
• Focuses on Quality of Service (QoS) and reliability, ensuring efficient data transmission and reduced packet loss
• Presents real-world strategies for mitigating network congestion, natural disasters, and high payload packet losses
• Features practical insights from a leading expert in smart grid communications, industrial internet security, and network resilience
• Explores data forwarding reliability, transmission control protocols, and routing reliability assurance tailored for smart grids.

Combining insights from communication networks, power grid operations, and advanced network security techniques, Communication Networks in Smart Power Grids is a must-read for advanced researchers and professionals in communication networks, network security, and smart grid systems. It is also an excellent textbook for courses on smart grid technology, network resilience, and industrial IoT in electrical engineering, computer science, and industrial technology programs.
