The editors invite various experts in the field to describe how and why power systems fail due to cyber security threats, human error, and complex interdependencies. They also discuss promising new concepts researchers are exploring that promise to make these control systems much more resilient to threats of all kinds. Finally, resilience fundamentals and applications are also investigated to allow the reader to apply measures that ensure adequate operation in complex control systems.
Among a variety of other foundational and advanced topics, you'll learn about:
The fundamentals of power grid infrastructure, including grid architecture, control system architecture, and communication architecture
The disciplinary fundamentals of control theory, human-system interfaces, and cyber security
The fundamentals of resilience, including the basis of resilience, its definition, and benchmarks, as well as cross-architecture metrics and considerations
The application of resilience concepts, including cyber security challenges, control challenges, and human challenges
