Modelling and Analysis of Smart Grid: A Stochastic Model Checking Case Study
Ender Yüksel, Huibiao Zhu, Hanne Riis Nielson, Heqing Huang, Flemming Nielson · 2012
Cyber-physical systems integrate information and communication technology functions to the physical elements of a system for monitoring and controlling purposes. The conversion of traditional power grid into a smart grid, a fundamental example of a cyber-physical system, raises a number of issues that require novel methods and applications. In this context, an important issue is the verification of certain quantitative properties of the system. In this paper, we consider a specific Chinese Smart Grid implementation as a case study and address the verification problem for performance and energy consumption. We employ stochastic model checking approach and present our modelling and analysis study using PRISM model checker.
