This book aims to provide readers with practical knowledge of the fundamentals of the digital transition concept, tools for designing and managing the operation of smart grids and substations, and critical issues in modernizing the energy sector. The inevitable transformation of the electric power industry is moving toward digitalization, which has taken the form of the concept of "Intelligent (smart) grids" (sometimes called "Digital Transition"). This has required coordinated work not only from the energy industry, but also from other stakeholders (government agencies, private firms, utilities, scientific and educational institutions, etc.) to solve numerous problems that arise during the transition to this advanced technology. It is obvious that the development of new components of energy systems, such as smart meters, monitoring and geolocation equipment, new disaster recovery systems, and energy storage systems, should be supplemented by the creation of the necessary communication infrastructure, modernization of existing network components, implementation of relevant regulations, training of highly qualified personnel.
The book covers all the main tasks and ways to solve them for the implementation of this technology. It summarizes materials from numerous monographs, scientific articles, and conference reports discussing these issues.

About the author
Vasiliy Ya. Ushakov is Honored Worker of Science and Technology of the Russian Federation. Now he is Professor at the Energy Engineering School of Tomsk Polytechnic University. He has many years of experience teaching special disciplines ("High-voltage engineering", "Current state, problems and perspectives of Electrical engineering", "Energy saving ") in Russian and in English (including abroad - Ulsan University, South Korea) and the course "Professional English" for Russian-speaking students. He has published over 300 scientific articles and 24 monographs and textbooks (five of them in Springer Verlag) and received 38 invention certificates and patents. Under his leadership, 37 candidate and 7 doctoral dissertations were defended. In different years, he held the following positions: Head of High Voltage Department of the Tomsk Polytechnic University (TPU), Head of High Voltage Research Institute at TPU, Vice-Rector for Research of TPU, and Head of Regional Resources SavingCentre. He has several government awards.
Alexey V. Mytnikov received the M.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from Tomsk Polytechnic University in 1988. He received the Ph.D. degree in 2001. He is Associate Professor of Power Engineering Institute, Tomsk Polytechnic University (Tomsk, Russia). His research interests focus on power transformer diagnostics, high-voltage technologies, and engineering pedagogics. Also, he provides full range of special courses for bachelor's and master's teaching specialization "High Voltage Power Engineering", including lectures, practices, and workshops. New technology of winding condition control, which is based on the nanosecond probing impulses, is the result of his experimental work. Simulations are a useful tool but as Hippocrates once said: "Clever man is not who knows a lot, but whose knowledge is useful". I follow this motto now. Alexey V. Mytnikov published more than 80 scientific articles.
Ikromjon U.Rakhmonov is Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor, and Head of the Department of Power Supply, Tashkent State Technical University. The scope of his scientific interests is increasing the efficiency and reliability of meeting the energy needs of industrial enterprises by predicting, standardizing of energy consumption, and monitoring the state of power-consuming equipment.He published about 200 scientific and educational works, including 4 monographs and 48 articles in journals from the SCOPUS database. His Hirsch Index is 10 (in the SCOPUS database). Under the scientific supervision of IU Rakhmonov, 2 doctoral dissertations were defended; currently, 2 doctoral students and 4 independent researchers are preparing their scientific qualification works (dissertations). During his pedagogical work, he published 7 textbooks, 5 manuals, and more than 20 guidelines.
