Future Distribution Networks: Planning, Operation, and Control presents a curated collection of leading information on the planning and operation of smart grids and next-generation distribution networks. It offers a look into the future of electricity networks that enable sustainable energy services and examines how these networks will link small- and medium-scale sources with consumer demand. It discusses how intelligent grid infrastructure provides flexibility for supply and demand.
The book contains:
Structure and clarification to the concept of ‘smart grids’ offering a clear, agreed-upon definition
Up-to-date information in smart grids and next-generation energy distribution networks, including industry and academic/laboratory contributions
Recent developments in planning, operation and control of future distribution networks and smart grids with penetration of renewable energy sources
This book is an ideal resource for academic and industry researchers in the energy and energy distribution fields. It is also relevant to professionals working in renewable energy or sustainable development and to undergraduate and graduate students studying electrical power engineering.

Preface
Planning, operation, and control of future electricity distribution networks are changing due to the addition of renewable distributed generators such as wind turbines, photovoltaic cells, and electric vehicles in addition to the effects of smart grid paradigms and new emerging trends.
This book provides a comprehensive understanding on the principals of the existing and future distribution of networks planning, operation, and control with the penetration of renewable distributed generators.
I believe this book is needed by the engineering community to better understand future distribution networks and smart grids with the emergence of new advancements such as Big Data Analytics and Internet of Things and the establishment of electricity markets. This book is organized in 12 chapters as follows:
Chapter 1: An overview of existing and future distribution networks’ types and configurations.
Chapter 2: Provides comprehensive solutions to resolve the impact of renewable distributed generators into low voltage and medium distribution networks.
Chapter 3: Provides solutions to manage and reduce power losses in distribution networks.
Chapter 4: Describes the key required elements for future distribution networks infrastructure with high penetration of renewable distributed generators and electrification of heat and transport sectors.
Chapter 5: Covers modelling tools for existing and future power grids.
Chapter 6: Proposes potential structures of electricity markets in future distribution networks.
Chapter 7: Discusses and proposes guidelines and practices on energy storage systems and their key role in provision of flexibility.
Chapter 8: Discusses the challenges and benefits of Demand Side Response programs in distribution networks and smart grids and their roles in network management.
Chapter 9: Proposes and discusses flexibility resources and services to facilitate the use of flexibility in future distribution networks.
Chapter 10: Presents the role of Distribution System Operator and impact of flexibility for the transition from Distribution Network Operator to Distribution System Operator.
Chapter 11: Provides a comprehensive overview of the role of Internet of Things and Big Data Analytics in optimization and management of future distribution networks.
Chapter 12: Proposes control techniques for fault ride through capability improvement of wind turbines in distribution networks.
I would like to thank my Ph.D. student, Mr. Mohammad Al-Ja’Afreh, for his suggestions and insightful observations that have improved this book.
