[May 24, 2012] Research and Markets: Smart Grid Communications and Networking - Transforming the way Power is Delivered, Consumed and Accounted for Tweet May 24, 2012 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/4rtjcf/smart_grid_communi) has announced the addition of the "Smart Grid Communications and Networking" report to their offering. The smart grid will transform the way power is delivered, consumed and accounted for. Adding intelligence through the newly networked grid will increase reliability and power quality, improve responsiveness, increase efficiency and provide a platform for new applications. This one-stop reference covers the state-of-the-art theory, key strategies, protocols, applications, deployment aspects and experimental studies of communication and networking technologies for the smart grid. Through the book's 20 chapters, a team of expert authors cover topics ranging from architectures and models through to integration of plug-in hybrid vehicles and security. Essential information is provided for researchers to make progress in the field and to allow power systems engineers to optimize communication systems for the smart grid. Key Topics Covered: 1. Communication networks in smart grid: an architectural view Nipendra Kayastha, Dusit Niyato, Ping Wang and Ekram Hossain 2. New models for networked control in smart grid Anna Scaglione, Zhifang Wang and Mahnoosh Alizadeh 3. Demand-side management for smart grid: opportunities and challenges Pedram Samadi, Hamed Mohsenian-Rad, Vincent W. S. Wong and Robert Schober 4. Vehicle-to-grid systems: ancillary services and communications Chenye Wu, Amir-Hamed Mohsenian-Rad and Jianwei Huang Part II.
