Abstract
This chapter summarizes the main developments that are taking place in power systems, as a background to the main chapters of this book. After a brief review of recent developments in smart things and smart homes, as examples of technological changes with social impacts, the chapter presents an overview of the major convergence aspects of the main technologies that contribute to modern power systems. The major sections are dedicated to reviewing the current trends in electrical power systems, telecommunication, information and automation systems, as the main pillars that support the future of electricity supply systems.
