Smart Grid 3.0 (eBook)

This book is the first on Smart Grid 3.0.

The book presents literature reviews of recent computational and communication technologies and their application in the evolution of smart grids to Smart Grid 3.0. It offers new control solutions, architectures and energy management strategies that are based on artificial intelligence and deep learning techniques.

The book details the hardware and software implementation of fault identification or detection based on synchrophasor data and machine learning. It also discusses blockchain architectures for smart grid applications such as electric vehicles, home automation and automatic metering infrastructure.
