This book project is a result of the long discussions made in recent years around the topic of eco-design either in the perimeter of technical societies such as SEE, IEEE or trade associations such as T&D Europe, or in experts' meetings like the European Technology Platform on Smart Grids.
This book would not have been possible without the support and informal contributions of many people without whom it would not have been successful. In particular, my numerous colleagues, experts, friends, from universities or from my company (Areva T&D then Schneider Electric).
Finally, I would like to express my gratitude to all the authors who contributed by their chapters, and to the publishers who patiently supported this job.
My love and gratitude to my beloved family for their understanding, endless love and support.
