Power Systems Resilience has always been a major challenge for the scientists and
the engineers. However, in the recent years, the increased public solicitude for the
resiliency of power systems and the resilience enhancement of cyber-physical
systems used here has powerful motivated activities of the research and development in this field. More than 18,000 technical articles written in last decade and
stored in “Science Direct Elsevier” database have “Power Systems Resilience” in
their title, abstract, or list of keywords. Other 2000 are already published in 2018,
so this interest will grow exponentially in next years. There were less than 1450
until 2000.
The aim behind this enormous progress is quite simple: both scientific and
industry are involved in resilience enhancement of cyber-physical systems used for
securing the critical infrastructure networks such as power systems.
The book generally explains the fundamentals and contemporary materials in
Power Systems Resilience. It will be very efficient for electrical engineers to have
the book which containing important subjects in considering modeling, analysis,
and practice related to Power Systems Resilience. The book comprises knowledge
and theoretical and practical issues as well as up to date contents in these issues and
methods for controlling the reliabilities against attacks and risks in AC power
systems.
Some textbooks and monographs are previously presented for people want to
learn more on Power Systems Resilience. The worth of the present book is that it
tries to put forward some practical ways for impact analysis of risk events on power
system operation, bringing together the topics such “resiliency”, “smart grid or
microgrids”, and “cybersecurity”, which are now more and more organized. The
editors wisely designated the topics to be preserved, and the chapters written by
well-recognized experts in the field are placed in four sections.
