In this assignment students will first learn how to develop knowledge based on current state of the art of an emerging knowledge domain. Then they will learn how to identify plausible security issues in this emerging network-based applications, and finally learn the skill of adding knowledge to existing domain by theoretically developing the corresponding protection mechanism for a particular issue. Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are based on the interaction between digital, analog, physical, and human components engineered for function using integrated physics and logic. These systems aim to provide the basis of our critical infrastructure which results in the basis of emerging and future smart services, and improve our quality of life in many areas [1]. Smart Grid is one of the CPS technologies, which develops and implements measurement science underpinning modernisation of the Nation's electrical power system (electric grid) in order to improve system efficiency, reliability and sustainability, by incorporating distributed intelligence, bi- directional communications and power flows, and additional advancements. For a smart grid network, communications infrastructure/protocols and wireless networking will play an important role in achieving these objectives. As Smart grid adopts new technologies, this emerging field also faces new security threats. Security of Smart Grid networks is a prime concern in today’s World. This assignment includes five parts 1. Literature review on Smart Grid Networks. The literature review should be supported by at least three (3) academic (Journal/Conference) papers chosen from the current state of the art. Your discussion should include: i. Smart Grid network architecture (System Component and Network Components) ii. Recent developments in Smart Grid networks iii. The importance of cyber security in Smart Grid networks 2. Analyse critically, three current or possible future security issues in Smart Grid networks. In this section you will analyse critically, three security issues in Smart Grid networks. These issues should be taken from the current state of the art. This section must be supported by at least three (3) references. 3. Propose a possible solution for one of the threats identified in section-2. In this part you need to choose one of the issues identified in the previous section and propose a possible solution to this particular security issue. 4. Analyse and discuss a case study related to recent attack on power systems. In this section, students will analyse and discuss a recent attack on the networked power system with proper reference.
