“…The challenges regarding the contingency responses within smart grids are multifaceted, primarily due to the absence of a real-time, convincing qualitative resilience index or a reliable metric that can accurately reflect the grid's resilience or reliability in the face of disruptions. The traditional approaches to measuring grid resilience have relied heavily on historical high-impact, low-frequency (HILF) events, utilizing metrics such as the SAIFI (System Average Interruption Frequency Index), SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration Index), and LOLP (Loss of Load Probability) [120].…”

Smart grids are a cornerstone of the transition to a decentralised, low-carbon energy system, which offer significant benefits, including increased reliability, improved energy efficiency, and seamless integration of renewable energy sources. However, ensuring the security and resilience of smart grids is paramount. Cyber attacks, physical disruptions, and other unforeseen threats pose a significant risk to the stability and functionality of the grid. This paper identifies the research gaps and technical hurdles that hinder the development of a robust and secure smart grid infrastructure. This paper addresses the critical gaps in smart grid security research, outlining the technical challenges and promising avenues for exploration by both the industry and academia. A novel framework designed to enhance the reliability and security of smart grids was proposed against cyber attacks, considering the interconnectedness of the physical and cyber components. The paper further explores future research trends and identifies the key open issues in the ongoing effort to strengthen the security and resilience of smart grids.

“…Randomising IP addresses at a configurable frequency supports evading adversarial discovery. This is meant to thwart the ability of an adversary to conduct reconnaissance and establish communications between devices on the network [51]; MTD has been proven to be effective at increasing the resilience of grid‐wide area networks against certain types of attacks [52].…”

Increasing penetrations of interoperable distributed energy resources (DER) in the electric power system are expanding the power system attack surface. Maloperation or malicious control of DER equipment can now cause substantial disturbances to grid operations. Fortunately, many options exist to defend and limit adversary impact on these newly-created DER communication networks, which typically traverse the public internet. However, implementing these security features will increase communication latency, thereby adversely impacting real-time DER grid support service effectiveness. In this work, a collection of software tools called SCEPTRE was used to create a co-simulation environment where SunSpec-compliant photovoltaic inverters were deployed as virtual machines and interconnected to simulated communication network equipment. Network segmentation, encryption, and moving target defence security features were deployed on the control network to evaluate their influence on cybersecurity metrics and power system performance. The results indicated that adding these security features did not impact DER-based grid control systems but improved the cybersecurity posture of the network when implemented appropriately.
