This book is essential for understanding the transformative integration of cyber-physical systems in smart grids, providing valuable insights that will shape the future of sustainable energy production and distribution. A novel modeling methodology that blends cyber and physical components is a significant advancement for future energy systems. A Cyber-Physical System (CPS) is an integrated component of physical microgrids that combines computers, wireless connections, and controls to create a holistic solution. As a result of cyber-physical systems, a new generation of engineering systems incorporating wireless communication has begun to emerge. Despite that there are various major CPS systems in use today, one of the most challenging sectors for implementation is the smart grid which aims to distribute dependable and efficient electric energy while maintaining a high level of global environmental sustainability. Smart grids incorporate advanced monitoring to ensure a secure, efficient energy supply, enhancing generator and distributor performance while offering consumers more choices. These systems aim to boost the capacity and responsiveness of energy production, transmission, distribution, and consumption. As renewable energy sources grow, traditional methods are being challenged, requiring cross-domain integration of energy systems and data. This book explores architectures and methods for integrating cutting-edge technology into the power grid for more sustainable energy production and distribution.

In an uncertain and complex environment, to ensure secure and stable operations of large-scale power systems is one of the biggest challenges that power engineers have to address today. Traditionally, power system operations and decision-making in controls are based on power system computations of physical models describing the behavior of power systems. Largely, physical models are constructed according to some assumptions and simplifications, and such is the case with power system models. However, the complexity of power system stability problems, along with the system's inherent uncertainties and nonlinearities, can result in models that are impractical or inaccurate. This calls for adaptive or deep-learning algorithms to significantly improve current control schemes that solve decision and control problems.
