Resilient Control and Operation of Power Grids against Cybersecurity Threats: Challenges and Solutions

Similar to all engineering applications and systems, power and energy systems are designed to be controlled in a closed-loop structure. Closed-loop systems can regulate the components of power grids to react appropriately to any system changes. Since smart grids heavily tie the control system with cyber and communication interfaces, the entire grid becomes vulnerable to cyber anomalies. This panel will study the different aspects of control design for power grids to be resilient against cyber disruptions. Presentations in this panel session: - Proactive Defense and Adaptive Self-healing for Coordinated Cyber-Physical Attacks in Distribution Systems with DERs (23PESGM3943) - Clouding of Our Cyber Lens - Focus on smart grid and DER technologies (23PESGM3946) - Overview of PES Technical Report on IT / OT Challenges and Opportunities to Improve Cyber Resiliency for Utilities (23PESGM3944)
