Power System

A highly complex cyber-physical and transactional System that, in the case of GW-scale Power Systems, exists to provide safe, reliable, and efficient Electricity services to millions of Customers.

The supply chain of a typical legacy Power System incorporates the Bulk Power System, Transmission Networks and Distribution Networks supported by the related Energy Retail functions. As a complex web of inter-dependent structures, Power Systems are best understood as an integrated Network of Structures which, due to their unparalleled scale and complexity, are formally defined as Ultra-Large-Scale (ULS) Systems.

Given the fast-evolving nature of power system transformation, the Future Grid Accelerator (FGA) has the status of a perpetual BETA version. Your suggestions for how each concept and definition may be enhanced are very welcome.
