Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Modern power systems face increasing security challenges as they adapt to rapidly changing technological, environmental, and regulatory landscapes. As power grids become increasingly complex with the integration of renewable energy sources, distributed generation, and advanced communication technologies, ensuring their security and reliability has become significant. This Special Issue seeks to explore innovative methodologies and tools for assessing security and analyzing risks within these dynamic systems and also promotes the development of robust strategies to mitigate potential threats and vulnerabilities that could disrupt power supply and compromise grid stability. By bringing together cutting-edge research and practical insights, this Special Issue aims to advance the understanding of how evolving factors—such as climate change, new technologies, cyber threats, and policy shifts—impact power system security. This Special Issue will help guide industry professionals, researchers, and policymakers in enhancing the resilience and reliability of power systems, ultimately contributing to a more secure and sustainable energy future.
