The continuing convergence of power electronics, distributed energy resources, and digital control/communication stacks has transformed power systems into complex cyber-physical ecosystems. This special session focuses on the relation of power electronics based energy systems and the cyber-physical risks and dependability challenges that accompany them. It will examine how vulnerabilities in communication, software, sensing, and control layers manifest in the physical operation of converters, inverters, microgrids, energy-storage interfaces, electric-vehicle chargers, and traction power systems — and, importantly, how to detect, mitigate for resilient operation. The session theme includes threat modeling for power-electronic control and grid-edge devices, resilient control strategies during cyber incidents, component failures, and extreme grid events, and verification/validation methods (including hardware-in-the-loop and digital twins) to test cyber physical interactions. The session will also cover fault-tolerant converter topologies and protection schemes that maintain power quality and stability. It will also explore interoperability and co-design between power-electronics hardware, control firmware, and communication protocols to reduce attack surfaces. Researchers and engineers working in power electronics, grid integration, cybersecurity can contribute to this special session. The session aims to bridge the communities of power-electronics design, power-system operation, and cyber-security to produce cross-disciplinary insights, practical mitigation strategies, and future research directions that enhance safety and reliability of modern power system.
