Preface

In many countries, the electricity sector is undergoing a profound change—the biggest in its 100 year history. The conjunction of some major drivers—such as the need to decarbonize the power industry—and megatrends towards more distributed, renewable systems, is forcing massive change in the industry. Concurrently, the need to expand electrification to an additional 1 billion people in India, Africa, and parts of Asia combined with the convergence of digital technology, and new distributed power generation technologies has opened up new ways of providing power to local communities and industry. For many developed economies, the conventional power system has been centralized, with large remote thermal power stations located close to fuel sources, such as coal, providing power to major loads that might be hundreds of kilometers away, through long distance high-voltage transmission lines. This has worked well for the last 50–60 years, p
