Smart Grid Security: Threats, Challenges, and Solutions
The cyber-physical nature of the smart grid has rendered it vulnerable to a multitude of attacks that can occur at its communication, networking, and physical entry points. Such cyber-physical attacks can have detrimental effects on the operation of the grid as exemplified by the recent attack which caused a blackout of the Ukranian power grid. Thus, to properly secure the smart grid, it is of ...
متن کاملThe Beta Grid: A National Infrastructure for Computer Systems Research
In future information infrastructures, boundaries between computing, storage, and communication will blur as these three functions become increasingly intertwined. Networks will be more than dumb “bitways” that move bits among computers, storage, and people; they will incorporate substantial embedded computing and storage. This computing and storage will, when combined with appropriate middlewa...
متن کاملEngineering the Advanced Power Grid : Research Challenges and Tasks *
— The electric power transmission systems of tomorrow must incorporate advanced hardware and software technologies to increase reliable long-distance power transfer. While new hardware technologies can improve transmission system capabilities, software technologies are also needed to coordinate these hardware technologies safely, securely, and effectively. To prevent system failures, future tra...
متن کاملElectrical Power Grid Network Optimisation by Evolutionary Computing
A major factor in the consideration of an electrical power network of the scale of a national grid is the calculation of power flow and in part icular, optimal power flow. Th is paper considers such a network, in which d istributed generation is used, and examines how the network can be optimized, in terms of transmission line capacity, in order to obtain optimal or at least high -performing co...
متن کاملNuclear Power and Security Threats
Nuclear facilities have not been designed to withstand a deliberate crash by a jumbo jet full of fuel or many other types of attack. A successful attack could have widespread and catastrophic consequences for both the environment and public health. The extent of damage caused will depend on the type of nuclear facility, the nature of the attack, weather conditions and the success of mitigation ...
