This book provides a comprehensive overview and in-depth discussion of smart grid resilience. It covers the three most critical resilience problems facing smart grids—resilience against extreme weather, resilience against cyber-physical attacks, and resilience under system inter-dependency. Each of these topics increases the risk of large-scale system-wide cascading failures. In-depth chapters allow the reader to define and quantify the smart grid’s ability to deal with extreme events and the critical infrastructures systems that connect it. Methods for improving system design are introduced along with effective strategies for protecting the system with minimal disruption of power supply and economic and social losses in extreme conditions. Smart Grid Resilience: Extreme Weather, Cyber-Physical Security, and System Interdependency is an essential guide for a broad audience of practicing professionals, including policymakers, electric utility engineers, and transmission and distribution system operators. It will also be a valuable reference for students and researchers.

This book provides the state-of-the-art intelligent methods and techniques for solving real-world problems along with a vision of the future research. The fifth 2020 Future Technologies Conference was organized virtually and received a total of 590 submissions from academic pioneering researchers, scientists, industrial engineers, and students from all over the world. The submitted papers covered a wide range of important topics including but not limited to computing, electronics, artificial intelligence, robotics, security and communications and their applications to the real world. After a double-blind peer review process, 210 submissions (including 6 poster papers) have been selected to be included in these proceedings. One of the meaningful and valuable dimensions of this conference is the way it brings together a large group of technology geniuses in one venue to not only present breakthrough research in future technologies, but also to promote discussions and debate of relevant issues, challenges, opportunities and research findings. The authors hope that readers find the book interesting, exciting and inspiring.

This is an open access book.Energy storage systems are the key to the successful energy transition to full renewable energy supply and are more relevant today than ever before. They address numerous challenges of the energy transition at once: stabilise the electricity grids, support the shutdown of power plants, make regionally generated electricity available locally and compensate for fluctuations in renewable energy generation. For more than 15 years now, EUROSOLAR has dedicated the annual International Conference on Renewable Energy Storage (IRES) to this important topic. The conference, which has been organised in partnership with Messe Düsseldorf since 2015, addressed the current state of research and the social, political and legal framework conditions of energy storage technologies from 20 to 22 September 2022, as part of its exhibitions on decarbonised industries.In up to three parallel series of lectures, experts from science, practice, politics and society focused on the current state of knowledge about energy storage.In recent years, more than 4000 visitors attended Energy Storage Europe, the predecessor of Messe Düsseldorf’s decarbXpo and IRES, each year. In plenary sessions, topic-specific lecture series and discussion rounds, around 150 lectures were presented including a large poster exhibition.We look forward to welcoming you to the 17th IRES in 2023.
