Abstract
The control of the electricity supply from generation to end-use has been an engineering and mathematical challenge for many decades. The continuous increase in power requirements, system interconnections and technological options prompted the search for discrete and continuous control systems. With the emergence of competition and limits on infrastructure construction, new methods of system control are needed to improve performance, to achieve minimum cost and desired reliability and to meet environmental requirements. The purpose of this paper is to describe a few electrical system control problems and introduce them to the Discrete Event Control research community with the expectation that useful approaches and valuable results will be developed and directed to the benefit of electric power system control needs.
