A DER Attack-Mitigation Differential Game for Smart Grid Security Analysis

BAGS: A Tool to Quantify Smart Grid Resilience

“…Traditionally, researchers have focused on modeling and analyzing the impact of CPTs on various functions and components of the SG system [5][6][7][8][9] [18][19]. Sanjab et al [10] defined threats targeting the SG infrastructure, challenges involved in the understanding of CPAs and defensive strategies against such attacks.…”

“…Neuman and Tan [8] described different types of CPAs and how they propagate from cyber to the physical domain and vice versa. Srikantha and Deepa [5] formulated a differential game that describes stealthy strategies for attackers to disrupt transient stability by leveraging control over Distributed Energy Resources (DERs). Researchers in [6] demonstrated an optimal attack scenario using false data injection attacks on Automatic Generation Control (AGC) functionality of the SG system.…”

“…Researchers have focused on describing the resilience of the SG system by analyzing different types of attacks on one of its components/functions [5][6][7][8][9]. Although such efforts provide relevant insights about the security of the SG, they are incomplete in the sense that they do not consider the effect of one compromised function onto the other functions and ultimately on the system's resilience.…”

“…It is insufficient to quantify and analyze Smart Grid Resilience (SGR) based on the static analysis of the system. We have to consider the dynamic nature of the vulnerabilities which is not yet considered by the previous approaches [7] [5]. They have failed to define a metric that can be used in real time to assess the SGR.…”

Real‐time pricing in smart community with constraint from the perspective of advertising game

“…Forouzandehmehr established a differential game model to describe the competition and interaction between hydropower plants and thermal power plants, so as to optimize power generation and power storage. Srikantha and Kunder used the differential game theory to study the mitigation capability of a smart grid system against network attack and proved the possibility of smart grid with stronger resilience under network attack . In the above researches of differential game, the main focus was still on the user's response to the electricity price without considering how the electricity retailer attracted users, while the electricity retailer adjusted the price according to user's optimal power load.…”
