In this chapter, an overview of electric power systems is presented. The purpose is to describe the structure and operation of the power system and its evolution to the new smart grids. The first section gives an introduction about the electric grid and its evolution. Then, there is a section with a brief description of the different components of the electric power system: generation, transmission, distribution, and consumption. The third section is related to power system control, explaining why control actions are necessary in the power system to maintain the balance between supply and consumption and to keep constant the system frequency (at 50 or 60 Hz). In order to understand future applications of electric vehicles, it is important to present a fourth section related to fundamentals of the electricity markets. The chapter finishes with a description of the future power systems with high penetration of intermittent renewable energies, energy storage capacity, active demand management, and integration with telecommunication infrastructure.

The current problem of the selection of the electric power system control nodes, which can be used to solve multicriterial problems of the consumers reliable supply with the electric power of the necessary quality of maximum efficiency is investigated. At the same time, a new method of making decisions while choosing electric power system control nodes is proposed. It is necessary to take into account a set of different types of indicators which characterize different properties of these nodes.

The paper proposes an approach to risk assessment in the electric power system control to identify possible failures in the electric power system functioning caused by cyberattacks on SCADA systems and WAMS. There is a large number of information, hardware and software factors, which increase the automated dispatching control system vulnerability to cyberattacks. The study shows the influence of unforeseen cyber-incidents in the information and communication infrastructure on electric power systems through false control actions on their physical part. The effectiveness of the developed risk assessment approach is demonstrated by its performance under uncertainty.

This proposal is aimed to overcome the problem that arises when diverse regulation devices and controlling strategies are involved in electric power systems regulation design. When new devices are included in electric power system after the topology and regulation goals were defined, a new design stage is generally needed to obtain the desired outputs. Moreover, if the initial design is based on a linearized model around an equilibrium point, the new conditions might degrade the whole performance of the system. Our proposal demonstrates that the power system performance can be guaranteed with one design stage when an adequate adaptive scheme is updating some critic controllers’ gains. For large-scale power systems, this feature is illustrated with the use of time domain simulations, showing the dynamic behavior of the significant variables. The transient response is enhanced in terms of maximum overshoot and settling time. This is demonstrated using the deviation between the behavior of some important variables with StatCom, but without or with PSS. A B-Spline neural networks algorithm is used to define the best controllers’ gains to efficiently attenuate low frequency oscillations when a short circuit event is presented. This strategy avoids the parameters and power system model dependency; only a dataset of typical variable measurements is required to achieve the expected behavior. The inclusion of PSS and StatCom with positive interaction, enhances the dynamic performance of the system while illustrating the ability of the strategy in adding different controllers in only one design stage.

The first part of the paper is devoted to the problem of optimal control in the area of electric power industry which is described on the basis of a one-sector variant of Glushkov integral model of developing systems. The authors consider the ways uncertain conditions of future electric power system development influence the optimal service life. The results of calculations for the Unified Electric Power System of Russia are presented and analyzed. The second part of the paper deals with the application of Prony method to identification of the Volterra equations in the two-sector models of developing systems. The authors suggest a numerical method for identifying the efficiency function parameters. An illustrative example is given.

Transients in electric power systems are of great interest to power engineers when designing a new or maintaining an existing system. The paper deals with using hybrid system theory for modeling and simulation of an electric power system with controllers. The presented technique is rather convenient and recommended as mathematical models of transients in electric power systems with controllers in general contain both continuous and discrete components. The modeling and simulation were carried out in the modeling and simulation environment ISMA, which is briefly presented in the paper.
