Energy Challenge, Power Electronics & Systems (PEAS) Technology and Grid Modernization
Open accessAbstract
Modern society has reached a point where virtually every crucial economic and social function depends on the secure and reliable operation of the electrical power and energy infrastructures. The energy consumption growth and the population growth are pushing world’s total energy consumption to double by 2050. This represents grand challenges and opportunities for power electronics and electric power systems engineers to modernize the power grid. Power electronics & systems (PEAS) technology is increasingly important for smarter distributed systems, particularly for power grid modernization. This paper discussed smart technology solutions, such as PEAS, for the changing nature of the electric power system. Specific technical challenges that are facing the power electronics and electric power systems communities are then elaborated. It is shown that we can meet the grand energy challenge by lever-aging the grid modernization efforts. To provide electric power to twice as many people does not have to increase the required environment footprint.

VPNs are essential for utilities that use cloud services, work with third-party vendors, or manage geographically dispersed grid assets via remote access.
“This is essential for utilities that use cloud services, work with third-party vendors, or manage geographically dispersed grid assets via remote access [12].”
From Encryption for Industrial Control Systems: A Survey of Application-Level and Network-Level Approaches in Smart Grids (2026) · cites this paper as [12]
The indexed Abstract (page unavailable) discusses secure and reliable electrical infrastructure and grid modernization, but does not address VPNs. Searches for VPNs, cloud services, third-party vendors, and remote access found no passage supporting their claimed necessity for utilities. (LLM, conf=0.74)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
