Cyber-physical Resilience of Inverter-interfaced Power Grids

Presents cybersecurity practices for inverter-interfaced power grids Cyber-physical Resilience of Inverter-interfaced Power Grids delivers a comprehensive and systematic introduction to the cyber-physical resilience of inverter-interfaced power grids against cyber-attack incidents, covering three closely related and critical problems in the field: attack situation awareness, defense resource allocation, and operation region characterization. Related state-of-the-art methods are introduced and illustrated in detail with hands-on examples so that readers can learn how to use them to address realistic problems and improve today’s practices. This book also includes information on: Catastrophic cyber-vulnerabilities that contribute to tiny-attack-high-impact phenomena in inverter-interfaced power grids, helping readers quantify attack-induced losses in grid security, stability, and efficiencySpatial-temporal defense strategies with not only event-triggered responses as attacks unfold over time but also collaborative mechanisms as attacks spread across regions, yielding cost-benefit trade-off for conflicting cyber-stakeholdersGeometrical properties of cyber insecurity regions and physical security regions, particularly in the context of the paradigm shift of cyber-physical resilience towards inverter-interfaced power gridsThis book contains the latest knowledge on the subject for academics in the fields of cyber-physical systems, renewable energy integration, and power systems engineering, power grid operators, cybersecurity professionals within the energy sector, and policy-makers responsible for regulatory frameworks on cybersecurity.
