The smart grid, a typical cyber-physical system, can provide a new paradigm to flexibly and intelligently integrate various participants that relate to power generation, transmission, distribution, and consumption. To a certain extent, the research on smart grids determines the future development direction of the electric power grid. In China, responding to the national mission goal of "Carbon Peak and Carbon Neutralization", smart grids can be an efficient way to solve energy security and environmental problems. However, smart grid needs effective power control and management to support the normal operation of this complex cyber-physical system.
As to the control of smart grids, various methods such as predictive control, resilient control, robust control, and hierarchical control have been used recently. They can be commonly seen in the area of power electronics, power converters, and communication links based on the modelling and analysis of smart grid components. The involvement of renewable energy sources, energy storage systems, and plug-in electric vehicles is mostly based on power electronics, which can considerably complicate system dynamics and reduce system inertia. Thus, power management is also an important topic that usually considers various and multiple restricted conditions inside and outside smart grids. Therefore, the operation, control, and management need to be deeply developed for the further development of smart grids.
Besides, the smart grid due to its cyber information property suffers from potential cyber-attacks such as data manipulation and false data injection. It is necessary to carry out the detection, defense, modelling, and analysis work for cyber-attacks in smart grids. Thus appropriate control and operation measures need to be designed to improve the system reliability, resilience, and efficiency. Uncertain renewable generations such as wind power systems and photovoltaic systems as well as the load response of consumers have increased the difficulties for system planning and operation, which also deserves an in-depth investigation.

This special session aims to present the state-of-the-art research work on the advanced control and optimal management of cyber-physical smart grids. Topics of presentations and research papers include but are not limited to:

  • Advanced Predictive Control/Resilient Control/Robust Control/Hierarchical Control of Smart Grids
