Cyber Physical Energy System

Cyber Physical Energy System (CPES) are intelligent systems that allow us to add new capabilities to energy systems by integration of communication, computation, information and control. It also includes the unification of both power network technology and the smart communication and management between supply and the demand side through distributed embedded computing. These processes make the operations to be self-configuring, monitoring, controlling. Through this combination, CPES are intended to deliver energy efficiently, reliably and economically (Low cost). This paper presents some benefits, challenges and major faults introduced by incorporating cyber physical systems to energy systems. Integrating computers, communications and control at all points of production, transmission, spreading, consumption and storing of energy, the errors are enlarged and also safety become more complicated. It also presents the architecture of the cyber physical energy systems, areas of application in the energy field, what has been done, and areas not yet explored
