The electrical grid is an impressive feat of engineering and management that has played a crucial role in the development and growth of most nations. The goal of this book is to describe the grid in layman terms and give you a thorough understanding of how it works. It focuses on the three pillars of the grid; generation, transmission, and distribution to show how they came together to power the world, and the tremendous change now happening as new technologies and renewable resources create a more decentralized system. All aspects of the grid are covered including equipment, software systems, operations, regulatory, financing, and future challenges.
