This book presents cutting-edge perspectives and research results in smart energy spanning multiple disciplines across four main topics: smart metering, smart grid modeling, control and optimization, and smart grid communications and networking.

Topics covered include:

* privacy-preserving data aggregation in smart metering systems
* smart price-based scheduling of flexible residential appliances
* smart tariffs for demand response from smart metering platforms
* decentralized models for real-time renewable integration in future grid
* distributed and decentralized control in future power systems
* multi-objective optimization for smart grid system design
* frequency regulation of smart grid via dynamic demand control and battery energy storage systems
* distributed frequency control and demand-side management
* game theory approaches for demand side management in the smart grid
* energy storage systems and grid integration
* overview of research in the ADVANTAGE project
* big data analysis of power grid from random matrix theory
* a model-driven evaluation of demand response communication protocols for smart grid
* energy-efficient smart grid communications
* cyber security of smart grid state estimation: attacks and defense mechanisms
