Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Smart grids are linked with smart homes and smart meters. These smart grids represent the new topology for generating, distributing, and consuming energy. Without proper connection within a smart grid, these smart devices cannot function properly. Therefore, conventional power systems are swiftly evolving to enhance the quality of electrical energy.

This book covers the fundamentals of power systemsβ€”the pillars of smart gridsβ€”with a focus on defining the smart grid through theoretical and experimental electrical concepts. Power System Fundamentals begins by discussing electric circuits, the basic systems in smart grids, and concludes with a comprehensive smart grid concept.

The book enables the reader to build a foundation of understanding through basic and advanced exercises that utilise simulation before advancing to experimental results. It is intended for readers who wish to thoroughly explore both the basic and advanced concepts of smart grids.
