Effective control of complex engineering systems requires more than just upgrading equipment and implementing new technologies, it demands a revision of their fundamental control principles. This process involves analyzing problems, structuring information to accelerate problem-solving, and increasing the flexibility of the control system. State estimation is a fundamental procedure in the dispatch control of electric power systems. The algorithms underlying the procedure continue to evolve alongside the transformation of electric power systems into cyber-physical power systems to address the challenges posed by external threats. This paper proposes a cyber-physical state estimation approach that integrates data from corporate network intrusion detection system and bad data detection procedure to enhance the dispatch control.
