Smart Grid Insecurity: A New Generation of Threats
نویسندگان
چکیده
The critical infrastructure powering the nation is currently undergoing a massive collaborative effort to integrate modern technologies with 50 year-old assets derived from 100 year-old designs. Improving the existing electric power infrastructure with smart grid technologies compounds existing threats with new threats. Identification of next generation smart grid security threats is vital for implementing a more secure national power grid. This paper discusses security threats in the information layer of the smart grid conceptual model by mapping threats to the seven domains. This paper also discusses federaland statelevel smart grid security initiatives.

متن کاملEconomical Modeling for Managing the Power Transaction of EVs and Power Market in Smart Parking Lots
The battery of electric vehicles (EV) can be charged from the power grid or discharged back to it. Parking lots can aggregate hundreds of EVs which makes them a significant and flexible load/generation component in the grid. In a smart grid environment, the smart parking lot (SPL) can benefit from the situation of the simultaneous connection to the EVs and power grid. This paper proposes a new ...
