Cyber-physical-social systems (CPSS) integrate computing, physical
assets, and human networks. Divided into four application areas to the
electric grid, this book describes state-of-the-art CPSS in electric
power systems, including detailed approaches on social constructs which
are a critical aspect of the end-user realm. The book covers:
- Grid stability and security: distributed controls and algorithms
for stability, cyber-security of generator units, and dynamic
contingency analysis in the grid.
- Distribution system controls and economics: aggregators and agents
for demand response, electric vehicles integration, smart
neighbourhoods, and microgrids.
- Social aspects and implementation: sociological customer
interactions with the grid, SCADA systems, and occupants' roles in
commercial buildings.
- Testbeds for validation: cyber-physical security assessment and
distributed real time digital simulation.
This book will be invaluable to academics and professional engineers
engaged in cyber-physical social system applications for power
engineering. It will also be of interest to social scientists,
economists, and business personnel working on engineering applications
for the Smart Grid, and students of power engineering
