Successful Smart Grid Implementation - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

The definitive guide on smart grid project development and execution!Planning and implementing a smart grid project can be one of the most complex endeavors that a utility undertakes. The electrical industry is rapidly changing and even the term "smart grid" has evolved from applying to the first automated meter reading systems to describing today's complex landscape of distributed energy resources (DER) and grid management. The new technologies, integrations to legacy systems, business process transformation within the utility, and customer engagement aspects are multifaceted and interrelated in a way that challenges utility planners and implementers. Indeed, a typical smart grid project usually has components that would be considered large projects in their own right.Designed for individuals in the electrical industry (utilities, consultants, implementers, integrators, vendors, and suppliers) who lead or participate in smart grid project strategy, planning, execution, integration, test, and delivery. This book distills lessons learned and best practices from successful projects into an understandable guide and roadmap for those either starting on their smart grid journey or about to embark on new elements of grid modernization. The reader will be taken through the process from the very first planning steps through operational transition and next steps, though each phase is presented in a standalone manner so readers can jump to the most appropriate stage of the life cycle for their needs. Valuable lessons learned and nuggets of wisdom throughout will help readers avoid pitfalls and promote project success.
