Position Paper On Secure and Resilient Energy-Based Critical Infrastructure

摘要

The smart grid, as a typical energy-based cyber-physical system and critical infrastructure, uses modern computing, communication, and control technologies to make the power grid more efficient, reliable, secure, and resilient. As a highly distributed and complex system, the smart grid consists of numerous functional components and could operate under the presence of various uncertainties raised by diverse types of failures and attacks from both cyber and physical components. To address these issues, we shall systematically identify cyber threats in the smart grid, utilizing modeling and simulation techniques to understand their impacts on both system operations and end users, while simultaneously developing effective mitigation schemes to defend against these attacks.
