Integrated Learning Environment for Smart Grid Security

Cyber Security of smart grids becomes more and more important to our everyday life for its wide implication in power systems, a critical infrastructure in a modern society. Many universities and corporations have put efforts in this field. However, there has been lack of emphasis on educational front of this important area. We believe that simulation systems designed for research purposes in the smart grid security should also be incorporated in education. Hence, this paper presents an integrated learning environment for the education of smart grid security. The core components of this environment are smart grid simulator and a learning website. Based on this learning environment, we design course projects and learning materials in teaching, so that students can better grasp the knowledge of smart grid security.
