Energy Internet

Abstract

The rapid development of advanced information technologies, for example, the Internet of Things and Big Data techniques, has made the energy internet achieve a deep integration of physical systems and cyber systems and realize an effective combination of energy flow and information flow among various networks. However, with increasing automation of the energy internet, the scale of physical networks, the size of cyber networks and the numbers of smart sensors and decision-making units have greatly increased, resulting in complex external or internal factors directly or indirectly impacting the control and decisions of networks through various approaches. The interaction mechanisms between cyber networks and physical networks are becoming increasingly complex in the energy internet, resulting in the security and reliability analysis of cyber-physical systems becoming more complicated. In this chapter, the security of components in cyber-physical systems is first introduced. Multiple uncertainties in cyber-physical system operation are also developed, including different types of cyber attacks and corresponding mitigation strategies as well as the volatility of energy sources and stochastic energy consumption. Moreover, the correlation and cascading failures in cyber-physical systems are analysed to demonstrate the coupling between cyber systems and physical systems. Furthermore, challenges in the security of cyber-physical systems are provided. This chapter mainly analyses cyber-physical system security in the energy internet considering various uncertainties, which can provide technical support for the planning and operation of the energy internet.
