Abstract

This article explores various applications and advancements in the fields of energy management (EM), cybersecurity (CS), and automation across multiple sectors, including smart grids (SGs), the Internet of things (IoT), trading, e-commerce, and autonomous systems. A variety of innovative solutions and methodologies are discussed, such as enhanced impedance methods for simulation stability, decision support systems for resource allocation, and advanced algorithms for detecting cyber-physical threats. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) techniques is highlighted, particularly in addressing challenges such as fault tolerance, economic distribution in cyber-physical systems (CPSs), and protection coordination in complex environments. Additionally, the development of robust algorithms for real-time monitoring and control demonstrates significant potential for improving system efficiency and resilience against various types of attacks.
