With the emergence of distributed energy resources (DERs), with their associated communication and control complexities, there is a need for an efficient platform that can digest all the incoming data and ensure the reliable operation of the power system. The digital twin (DT) is a new concept that can unleash tremendous opportunities and can be used at the different control and security levels of power systems. This paper provides a methodology for the modelling of the implementation of energy cyber-physical systems (ECPSs) that can be used for multiple applications. Two DT types are introduced to cover the high-bandwidth and the low-bandwidth applications that need centric oversight decision making. The concept of the digital twin is validated and tested using Amazon Web Services (AWS) as a cloud host that can incorporate physical and data models as well as being able to receive live measurements from the different actual power and control entities. The experimental results demonstrate the feasibility of the real-time implementation of the DT for the ECPS based on internet of things (IoT) and cloud computing technologies. The normalized mean-square error for the low-bandwidth DT case was 3.7%. In the case of a high-bandwidth DT, the proposed method showed superior performance in reconstructing the voltage estimates, with 98.2% accuracy from only the controllers’ states.

The control of cyber-physical systems (CPS) is a great challenge for researchers in control theory and engineering mainly because of delays induced by merging computation, communication, and control of physical processes. Consequently, control solutions for time-delay systems can be applied efficiently for many CPS system configurations. In this article, a fractional order PIλ and PIλDµ control design is investigated for a class of fractional order time-delay systems. The proposed control design approach is simple and efficient. The controller parameter's adjustment is achieved in two steps: first, the relay approach is used to compute satisfactory classical PID coefficients, namely kp, Ti and Td. Then, the fractional orders λ and µ are optimized using performance criteria. Simulation results show the efficiency of the proposed design technique and its ability to enhance the PID control performance.
