TLDR
In this paper, the authors explain how sensors, communications technologies, computational ability, control, and feedback mechanisms can be effectively combined to create a new, continually adjusting "smart grid" system.Abstract:
The power system has often been cited as the greatest and most complex machine ever built, yet it is predominantly a mechanical system. Technologies and intelligent systems are now available that can significantly enhance the overall functionality of power distribution and make it ready to meet the needs of the 21st century. This book explains how sensors, communications technologies, computational ability, control, and feedback mechanisms can be effectively combined to create this new, continually adjusting "smart grid" system. It provides an understanding of both IntelliGridSM architecture and EnergyPortSM as well as how to integrate intelligent systems to achieve the goals of reliability, cost containment, energy efficiency in power production and delivery, and end-use energy efficiency.read more

Review of fossil fuels and future energy technologies
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed evidence of hydrocarbons decline scenarios and timelines of future energy technologies and showed that fossil fuels, gas and coal may continue to exist for next several decades, yet the energy transition to low carbon intensity fuels is necessary to cope with rampant climate change.

Smart Operation of Smart Grid: Risk-Limiting Dispatch
TL;DR: A new operating paradigm, called risk-limiting dispatch, is proposed, which treats generation as a heterogeneous commodity of intermittent or stochastic power and uses information and control to design hedging techniques to manage the risk of uncertainty.
