Applications of Entropy Principles in Power Systems: A Survey

The entropy is a measure of uncertainty and has been widely applied to almost all disciplines. The purpose of this paper is to give an overview of the applications of entropy principles in power systems to attract more researchers to carry out further research in this field. Firstly, fundaments of entropy principles are introduced. Secondly, the current applications of entropy principles in power systems are presented respectively. Finally, some suggestions are given for future research on applying entropy principles to power systems.
