Power System Protection in Future Smart Grids 1st Edition

Capture the future of grid resilience with Power System Protection in Future Smart Grids, 1st Edition by Taha Selim Ustun. This authoritative title draws immediate attention to the urgent challenges facing modern power systems as renewable generation, distributed energy resources, and digital communication reshape protection needs worldwide.

Clear, focused chapters explore adaptive protection schemes, relay coordination, fault detection, wide-area monitoring, and cybersecurity for protection systems. The book examines standards-driven solutions (including IEC 61850 concepts), protection for distribution and microgrids, and strategies to manage high-penetration inverter-based resources. Practicing engineers, grid operators, and energy planners will appreciate the practical frameworks for applying protection algorithms, communication architectures, and real-time control techniques to maintain system stability and reliability.

By linking theory with real-world concerns — from urban utilities in Europe and North America to rapidly evolving grids in Asia, Africa, and Latin America — this work prepares readers to design, evaluate, and upgrade protection systems across diverse geographic contexts. Readers gain actionable insights to reduce outage risk, improve fault isolation, and meet regulatory and operational objectives in smart grid deployments.

Whether you’re an electrical engineer, system operator, researcher, or policy professional, Power System Protection in Future Smart Grids is an essential reference for navigating the transition to resilient, secure, and intelligent power networks.
