Abstract:
Motivation: Power transmission networks underpin our way of life and are at the center of the transformation of the US energy system. "Keeping the lights on" as we transform an already large and complicated power system is a fundamental challenge for cyber- physical engineering. Future power networks will be instrumented with synchrophasor measurement units, communication infrastructures and distributed computing, and are therefore prototypical examples of cyber-physical systems with tightly coupled compu- tational and physical resources.
