Fundamental modelling of Power Systems, analytical techniques, numerical methods and simulation for gaining insight in the behavior have been major approaches.

With massive penetration of Distributed Renewable intermittent sources and Electrical Vehicles, the real topology of connected sources and sinks will be uncertain and interactions possible.

Will new tools be more measurement based techniques where signal analysis tools like Empirical Mode Decomposition, Prony's Method and FFT-based methods become the core?

Other emerging tools based on Statistical Methods and Machine Learning?
