SMART GRID TELECOMMUNICATIONS Discover the foundations and main applications of telecommunications to smart grids

In Smart Grid Telecommunications, renowned researchers and authors Drs. Alberto Sendin, Javier Matanza, and Ramon Ferrús deliver a focused treatment of the fundamentals and main applications of telecommunication technologies in smart grids. Aimed at engineers and professionals who work with power systems, the book explains what smart grids are and where telecommunications are needed to solve their various challenges.

Power engineers will benefit from explanations of the main concepts of telecommunications and how they are applied to the different domains of a smart grid. Telecommunication engineers will gain an understanding of smart grid applications and services and will learn from the explanations of how telecommunications need to be adapted to work with them.

The authors offer a simplified vision of smart grids with rigorous coverage of the latest advances in the field, while avoiding some of the technical complexities that can hinder understanding in this area. The book offers:



Discussions of why telecommunications are necessary in smart grids and the various telecommunication services and systems relevant for them
An exploration of foundational telecommunication concepts ranging from system-level aspects, such as network topologies, multi-layer architectures and protocol stacks, to communications channel transmission- and reception-level aspects
Examinations of telecommunication-related smart grid services and systems, including SCADA, protection and teleprotection, smart metering, substation and distribution automation, synchrophasors, distributed energy resources, electric vehicles, and microgrids
A treatment of wireline and wireless telecommunication technologies, like DWDM, Ethernet, IP, MPLS, PONs, PLC, BPL, 3GPP cellular 4G and 5G technologies, Zigbee, Wi-SUN, LoRaWAN, and Sigfox, addressing their architectures, characteristics, and limitations

Ideal for engineers working in power systems or telecommunications as network architects, operations managers, planners, or in regulation-related activities, Smart Grid Telecommunications is also an invaluable resource for telecommunication network and smart grid architects.

Alberto Sendin, PhD, is Head of Telecommunications in Iberdrola, Spain and Professor with the Comillas Pontifical University, Spain. He received his PhD from the University of the Basque Country, Spain in 2013 and has authored eight books on telecommunications. Javier Matanza, PhD, is a Research Professional with the Institute for Research in Technology, and a Lecturer with the Comillas Pontifical University, Spain. He received his PhD in 2013 from the same university. Ramon Ferrús, PhD, is an Associate Professor at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC), from which he received his PhD in 2000. He has authored two books and 130+ publications in peer-reviewed journals and conferences on topics related to wireless communications.
