Preface
This book deals with the emerging scenario of smart grids in power systems. Smart grids are a concept which integrates automation, communication, and intelligence with distributed renewable generation, enabling the system to interact with the main grid in a bidirectional way. For this sake, new technological devices must be employed, and the engineers assigned to operate these systems need to be well trained. Smart grids come with the growing appeal of self-sustainable cities. Thus, its concept may embrace self-healing in a broad sense, which aims to create strategies to keep infrastructure following a major catastrophe. Such a concept may take into account communications, highways, hospital, water, and electricity. For this sake, intelligence is vital and plays a central role in this process. This creates opportunities for classic distribution systems to become smart grids. Like the changes mankind has had with industrial revolution and Internet, smart grids are certainly to change habits and the way people use electricity. In this sense, a new term,
