Cyber-Physical-Social Systems in Electric Power Engineering explores the integration of computing, physical infrastructure, and human networks within modern electric grids. Divided into four key application areas, the book provides state-of-the-art coverage of cyber-physical-social systems (CPSS) in power systems, with particular attention to social constructs that influence end-user interactions.
Topics include:
-
Grid Stability and Security: Distributed control algorithms, generator cybersecurity, and dynamic contingency analysis.
-
Distribution System Controls and Economics: Demand response through aggregators and agents, integration of electric vehicles, smart neighborhoods, and microgrids.
-
Social Aspects and Implementation: Customer interactions, SCADA systems, and the role of building occupants in commercial settings.
-
Testbeds for Validation: Cyber-physical security assessment and distributed real-time digital simulation.
This book is an invaluable resource for academics and engineers working on CPSS applications in power engineering. It will also interest social scientists, economists, and business professionals involved in Smart Grid technologies, as well as students specializing in power systems.
