Giulio Giaconi, Deniz Gündüz, H. Vincent Poor

Abstract: The next-generation energy network, the so-called smart grid (SG), promises tremendous increases in efficiency, safety, and flexibility in managing the electricity grid as compared to the legacy energy network. This is needed today more than ever, as global energy consumption is growing at an unprecedented rate and renewable energy sources (RESs) must be seamlessly integrated into the grid to assure a sustainable human development.
