While most of these strategic aspects apply to any area of the electricity\u003cbr\u003e grid, the book focuses on distribution. The guidance includes key building blocks for modernizing\u003cbr\u003e the distribution grid and provides examples of grid modernization projects. This revised edition\u003cbr\u003e also includes key communication system requirements to support a well-functioning grid.\u003cbr\u003e The concept of the smart grid is relevant to all grids. What varies are the magnitude and type of\u003cbr\u003e the incremental steps toward modernization for achieving a specifi c smart grid vision. A utility that is\u003cbr\u003e at a relatively low level of grid modernization may leapfrog one or more levels of modernization to\u003cbr\u003e achieve some of the benefi ts of the highest levels of grid modernization.\u003cbr\u003e Smart grids impact electric distribution systems signifi cantly. In developing countries, modernizing\u003cbr\u003e the distribution grid promises to benefi t the operation of electric distribution utilities in many\u003cbr\u003e and various ways. These benefi ts include improved operational effi ciency (such as reduced losses\u003cbr\u003e and lower energy consumption), reduced peak demand, improved service reliability, and ability to\u003cbr\u003e accommodate distributed generating resources without adversely impacting overall power quality.\u003cbr\u003e Practical Guidance for Defi ning a Smart Grid Modernization Strategy concludes by describing\u003cbr\u003e funding and regulatory issues that may need to be taken into account when developing smart grid\u003cbr\u003e plans.\u003cbr\u003e The World Bank Studies series is available for free download online through the Open Knowledge\u003cbr\u003e Repository (https: \/\/openknowledge.worldbank.org).\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe World Bank came into formal existence in 1945 following the international ratification of the Bretton Woods agreements. It is a vital source of financial and technical assistance to developing countries around the world. The organization's activities are focused on education, health, agriculture and rural development, environmental protection, establishing and enforcing regulations, infrastructure development, governance and legal institutions development. The World Bank is made up of two unique development institutions owned by its 185 Member Countries. The International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) focuses on middle income and creditworthy poor countries and the International Development Association (IDA), which focuses on the poorest countries in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 176\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.38 x 10 x 7 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 20, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43156809056319,"sku":"9781464810541","price":71.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/j3llTTaG1w9781464810541.webp?v=1776975392","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/practical-guidance-for-defining-a-smart-grid-modernization-strategy-the-case-of-distribution-revised-edition-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
