A new hybrid risk assessment process for cyber security design of smart grids using fuzzy analytic hierarchy processes

Abstract

IT vulnerabilities, cyber threats, and resulting risks significantly impact the stability of current and future power grids. The results of a Risk Assessment process contribute to a better understanding of the causes and nature of the associated risks. The risks assessed by experts are available in both numerical and linguistic representations – this makes it beneficial to include a combination of linguistic and numerical analyses. In this paper, we propose a new Hybrid Risk Assessment method based on fuzzy logic, leading to more precise results. The presented approach specifies the variables and membership functions of fuzzy logic with reference to Smart Grids. For this propose, a case study with five risk events in a small-scale Smart Grid is carried out as an example. The results can then support decision-makers in ensuring grid stability.

Information Security Risk Assessment of Industrial Control Systems

“…Компромиссом между подходами качественной и количественной оценки может быть смешанный подход [12] к оценке рисков, также называемый гибридной оценкой рисков [13]. Смешанный подход объединяет качественный и количественный методы: например, путем перевода качественно определенного значения риска в количественный по соответствующей числовой шкале или наоборот (сопоставление значениям лингвистических переменных числовых шкал).…”

Comprehensive Performance Evaluation of an Unmanned Excavator Based on Signal Stability Extraction

“…In the field of excavators, unmanned excavators, as automated and intelligent tools, are gradually gaining widespread attention and application [1,2]. In recent years, China's unmanned excavator industry has been developing rapidly, but due to the variety of different models and brands in the unmanned excavator market, professionals and decision makers in the field of excavators are unable to fully and objectively understand the various aspects of unmanned excavators to make an informed choice [3,4].…”
