Green Energy Driven Integrated Smart Grid and Wireless Networks

Green energy and next-generation wireless systems are no longer independent domains, rather they are rapidly converging to redefine the future of sustainable connectivity. This book presents a forward looking study outlining the design of green energy driven, integrated smart grid and wireless networks. It reimagines the integration of renewable energy with the traditional power grid, by enabling each grid user to not only consume grid energy but to also be a potential energy source, thereby revising the conventional idea of power grids. A grid networked system of such distributed ambient powered nodes is hence envisioned to potentially act as a carbon-free energy producer system to the power grid, in addition to an energy prosumer system. Through its chapters, the book outlines and highlights the importance of sustainability in 6G networks. The authors present insights on the design constraints and challenges in system analysis. The study broadly pertains to analytical modeling of spatio-temporal randomness in cellular networks, presenting novel strategies to mitigate the effects of the dual randomness on network performance. The key ideas presented include joint load and energy balancing, optimum resource provisioning, and aerial offloading. The authors also demonstrate a wider perspective by extending the concept of energy balancing to energy aware residential networks. The book concludes by discussing the scope of integration of AI in wireless networks and motivate the need for green-AI aided future networks. Written for graduate level students in computer science and electrical engineering, as well as industry professionals deploying large-scale green service solutions, this book serves as both a foundational reference and a roadmap toward sustainable, scalable, and intelligent future communication networks.
