Smart Automation for Enhancing Cyber-Security

Cyber-Physical Systems Security for Smart Grid

Cyber Security for Smart Grid Communications

An increasing demand for reliable energy supply and numerous technological advancements have motivated the development of smart grids. As the world’s largest engineered system, the smart grid will expand the current capabilities of the electric grid’s generation, transmission, and distribution systems to provide an infrastructure capable of handling future requirements for distributed generatio...

Quantitative Vulnerability Assessment of Cyber Security for Distribution Automation Systems

The distribution automation system (DAS) is vulnerable to cyber-attacks due to the widespread use of terminal devices and standard communication protocols. On account of the cost of defense, it is impossible to ensure the security of every device in the DAS. Given this background, a novel quantitative vulnerability assessment model of cyber security for DAS is developed in this paper. In the as...

System - Aware Cyber Security : A Systems Engineering Approach for Enhancing Cyber Security

 ABSTRACT This article highlights the importance of concurrently addressing process, people, and technology factors when conducting research related to new systems engineering concepts. In particular, an ongoing US Department of Defense-sponsored, University of Virginia-led cyber security research project is used as an example of how concurrent research activities provide value earlier in the ...

Smart Grids Cyber Security Issues and Challenges

The energy need is growing rapidly due to the population growth and the large new usage of power. Several works put considerable efforts to make the electricity grid more intelligent to reduce essentially energy consumption and provide efficiency and reliability of power systems. The Smart Grid is a complex architecture that covers critical devices and systems vulnerable to significant attacks....
