About this book

The electrical grid stands as a remarkable achievement in engineering and management, serving as a vital catalyst for the development and progress of nations worldwide. This book aims to demystify the grid, presenting its intricacies in layman terms to provide a comprehensive understanding of its functioning. Emphasizing the three fundamental pillars—generation, transmission, and distribution—the book illustrates their convergence in powering the world. Furthermore, it explores the significant transformation underway as emerging technologies and renewable resources contribute to the evolution of a more decentralized system. Encompassing all facets of the grid, including equipment, software systems, operations, regulatory aspects, financing, and future challenges, this book offers a holistic perspective on this essential infrastructure.
