Some Aspects concerning the Cyber-Physical Systems Approach in Power Systems

TL;DR

This paper reviews the evolution of power system control towards a Cyber-Physical Systems paradigm, emphasizing the integration of physical and information systems through distributed computing and communication.

Contribution

It provides an overview of how CPS principles are transforming power system control, highlighting the shift in system structuring and control approaches.

Findings

CPS integration enhances power system control.

Distributed computing and communication are key to modern CPS.

Paradigm shift in power system management.

Abstract

The paper carries out a review of the main functional aspects of an electro-energetic system, principles which lead to an evolution or even to a paradigm change the the control of such complex systems. The repositioning of the physical and information systems, mainly through the development of the computing and communication distributed entities, lead to a new structuring of the control approach in power systems, in accordance to the modern Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) paradigm.
