Resiliency Of Power Systems In The Cyber Layer: Application To Load Forecasting And Security Assessment, Mojtaba Dezvarei

Doctoral Dissertations

Integrating sensors, actuators, and communication infrastructure in the electrical grid creates a smart grid, known as a cyber-physical system (CPS), which combines the physical framework with a cyber layer. The cyber layer is crucial as it houses the decision-making responsible for reliable operation. However, the complexity of the physical layers, due partly to the deployment of integrated battery resources (IBRs), and the cyber layer itself, introduces challenges such as reliance on measurement quality and vulnerability to data corruption from cyber threats. These challenges result in uncertainties in the CPS framework, emphasizing the need for accurate and robust responses from the …
