Electric Power Systems

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Intelligent Monitoring, Control, and Security of Critical Infrastructure Systems

Part of the book series: Studies in Computational Intelligence ((SCI,volume 565))

Abstract

The electric power system is one of the largest and most complex infrastructures and it is critical to the operation of society and other infrastructures. The power system is undergoing deep changes which result in new monitoring and control challenges in its own operation, and in unprecedented coupling with other infrastructures, in particular communications and the other energy grids. This Chapter provides an overview of this transformation, starting from the primary causes through the technical challenges, and some perspective solutions.
