Literature Review on Smart Grid Cyber Security
The current U.S. electrical power grid is an out-of-date infrastructure, and the Smart Grid is an upgrade that will add many new functionalities to meet customers’ new power requirements. Updating a system as complex as the electrical power grid has the potential of introducing new security vulnerabilities into the system. This document presents a review of the work related to Smart Grid cyber ...
متن کاملCyber-Physical System Security of a Power Grid: State-of-the-Art
As part of the smart grid development, more and more technologies are developed and deployed on the power grid to enhance the system reliability. A primary purpose of the smart grid is to significantly increase the capability of computer-based remote control and automation. As a result, the level of connectivity has become much higher, and cyber security also becomes a potential threat to the c...
متن کاملCyber Security of Smart Grid Infrastructure
Smart grid security is crucial to maintain stable and reliable power system operation during the contingency situation due to the failure of any critical power system component. Ensuring a ‘secured smart grid’ involves with a less possibility of power grid collapse or equipment malfunction. Due to lack of the proper ‘security measures’, a major blackout may occur which can even lead to a cascad...
متن کاملCyber-Physical Device Authentication for the Smart Grid Electric Vehicle Ecosystem
Entity authentication and related key management is an active research topic in smart grid security. But existing works seem to have overlooked the significance that the smart grid is a cyber-physical system, which entails more considerations in the integration of its cyber and physical domains. Ignoring this could possibly undermine security since the effects of cyber authorization in the smar...
