Electrical Distribution Networks

This book describes the fundamental aspects of the new generation
of electrical distribution grids, taking as its starting point the
opportunities that exist for restructuring existing infrastructure.
It emphasizes the incorporation of renewable energy sources into
the distribution grid and the need for a technological evolution
towards the implementation of smartgrids.

The book is organized into two parts: the first part analyzes the
integration of distributed energy sources into the distribution
grid and the impact of these sources on grid operation. After a
general description of the general characteristics of distribution
grids and renewable energy sources, it then analyzes the economics
of electrical energy distribution networks and presents the impact
of these sources on grid operation. The second part of the book
then analyzes the various functions which allow for safe operation
of the grid and realization of the path towards real world
application of smartgrids.
