Foreword

In an attempt to reduce our dependence on environmentally-damaging fossil fuels and to increase the longevity of installed power infrastructures, there has been a significant drive towards energy efficiency and a greater use of renewable energy sources. To support these goals, the electricity grid is being transformed into a so-called smart grid. At the core of the smart grid are increased monitoring and control capabilities, primarily in medium- and low-voltage networks, that are supported by Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems. An example use of these systems is to support dynamic voltage control strategies that enable the deployment of volatile Distributed Energy ...
