This unique volume covers the most compelling areas of advance in electric power engineering, from distributed generation and dispatch to power quality improvement and energy storage. The authors particularly highlight the seminal contributions of Dr. Gerald T. Heydt in the development and teaching of these technological advances, which have impacted the power industry and academia over the last 4 decades in areas such as transmission and distribution engineering, power engineering education, and centers for power engineering research.

Cyber-physical-social systems (CPSS) integrate computing, physical assets and human networks. Divided into four application areas to the electric grid, this book describes state-of-the-art CPSS in electric power systems, including detailed approaches on social constructs which are a critical aspect of the end-user realm.

Topics covered include:

* grid stability and security: distributed controls and algorithms for stability, cyber-security of generator units, and dynamic contingency analysis in the grid
* distribution system controls and economics: aggregators and...
