This book provides a comprehensive overview of fundamental principles of smart grid operation and control. It describes smart grid technologies including sensors, communication networks, computation, data management, and cyber security. The authors also explore the interdisciplinary nature of the smart grid and the interconnections between the component technologies on which its security depends. Readers will be able to apply the principles they have learned in building secure smart grid infrastructure that can manage the evolving complexity of the electric grid.
