Final report : impacts analysis for cyber attack on electric power systems (National SCADA Test Bed FY08)

Stamp, Jason E.; Laviolette, Randall A.; Richardson, Bryan T.

To analyze the risks due to cyber attack against control systems used in the United States electrical infrastructure, new algorithms are needed to determine the possible impacts. This research is studying the Reliability Impact of Cyber ttack (RICA) in a two-pronged approach. First, malevolent cyber actions are analyzed in terms of reduced grid reliability. Second, power system impacts are investigated using an abstraction of the grid's dynamic model. This second year of esearch extends the work done during the first year.
