Abstract
Over many decades, the electric power industry has evolved from a single low-power generator serving a small area to highly interconnected networks serving a large number of countries, or even continents. Nowadays, an electric power system is one of the largest man-made systems ever created, consisting of an enormous number of components ranging from small electric appliances to very large turbo-generators. Running such a large system is a significant challenge. It has necessitated the resolution of numerous issues by educational and industrial institutions. The main issues of the power system can be categorized into planning, operation, and control issues which are analyzed in this chapter, separately. Machine learning, deep learning, and a variety of regression, classification, and clustering algorithms are all extremely effective tools for addressing these issues. These procedures can be used to resolve a variety of power system issues and concerns, including planning, operation, fault detection and protection, power system analysis and control, and cyber security.
