The Internet of Things (IoT) is expanding rapidly into power grids, leading to the collection of vast amounts of data. In a smart grid environment, a multitude of intelligent devices will be interconnected with minimal human intervention, creating a machine-to-machine scenario. This is a fundamental aspect of the IoT. This book explores and assesses the impact of the growing data in communication networks applied to smart grids on grid efficiency and reliability. Additionally, it delves into the various security concerns that arise with Big Data and expanded communications in power grids.

Big data, a term that has gained significant attention in the research community, is defined and provided a general description. The book offers a comprehensive overview of big data optimization methods in power systems. It examines the communication devices used in critical infrastructure, particularly power systems, and the security methods available to verify the identity of devices. It also highlights the general security threats in CI networks.

The book presents various applications in power systems, including power flow and protection. It also reviews electricity theft concerns and the diverse range of data-driven techniques and applications developed for electricity theft detection.

Overall, this book provides valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities associated with big data in power systems, enabling utilities and researchers to better understand and optimize the use of this valuable resource.
