Cyber-physical power systems: A comprehensive review about technologies drivers, standards, and future perspectives

The evolution of power systems into Cyber Physical Power Systems (CPPS), characterized by the integration of information and communication technologies with traditional electrical infrastructure, has resulted in new opportunities and challenges. This paper presents a comprehensive and systematic review of advancements in CPPS. In response to the unique attributes of CPPS, such as device vulnerabilities and data falsification, this review critically examines the state-ofthe-art literature. The primary contributions of this paper include the systematic organization of existing research and an in-depth analysis of significant milestones in the field of CPPS, leading to the development of a taxonomy for categorizing various drivers. Furthermore, this paper elucidates current strategies for defining clear terms, models, methodologies, and attributes essential to cybersecurity policies within CPPS. The incorporation of relevant standards employed in the CPPS domain is also a paramount aspect of this review. In addition to these contributions, the paper identifies areas warranting further research and highlights emerging trends within CPPS, aiming to offer valuable insights to industry practitioners and to catalyze future research endeavors.
