The Power

This book links the challenges to which the electricity network is exposed with the range of new technology, methodologies and market mechanisms known under the name "smart grid." The main challenges will be described by the way in which they impact the electricity network: the introduction of renewable electricity production, energy efficiency, the introduction and further opening of the electricity market, increasing demands for reliability and voltage quality, and the growing need for more transport capacity in the grid. Three fundamentally different types of solutions are distinguished in this book: solutions only involving the electricity network (like HVDC and active distribution networks), solutions including the network users but under the control of the network operator (like requirements on production units and curtailment), and fully market-driven solutions (like demand response). An overview is given of the various solutions to the challenges that are possible with new technology; this includes some that are actively discussed elsewhere and others that are somewhat forgotten.

Amazon Review by Heidi
Wow! What an extraordinary version of Purple Rain by the LSO, I bought the CD for that 1 song. It is so true to the original with how it is gradually built up and finishing with the many layers as the great man originally wrote it. And the guitar solo! Just beautiful, such a magnificent effort by the LSO. This song is the most beautiful song in the universe, often covered badly, but the LSO have performed it mafnificently. I have a feeling that even Prince himself would appreciate this version. Well done LSO!

The secret to a good life is not what you think.

Use the power of curiosity to transform challenging conversations into productive, meaningful, relationship-building experiences at work, home, or school.
