Application of Artificial Intelligence in Electrical Power Systems

In this paper, the application of heuristic and optimization algorithms based on artificial intelligence (AI) is investigated on electrical power systems. Three distinct areas have been categorized validating the application of AI methods in power systems. It involves classical problem of economic load dispatch in conventional power plant, continuing with optimal sizing issue of renewable energy system in present grid and ending with cyber attacks with mitigation methods on evolving smart grids. The study concludes that the development of intruder detection and prevention systems considering AI techniques will be the new normal having significant impact to counter the cyber attacks on electrical power system.
