Summary
In recent years, numerous standards related to the cybersecurity of smart grids have been published, which led to the challenge for operators in obtaining indications that match their specific objectives and contexts. Although several studies approached this problem by providing more or less comprehensive surveys and overviews of smart grid cybersecurity standards, none of them was dedicated to the actual and important subject of cybersecurity controls. This paper aims at filling this gap. A systematic literature analysis was conducted which resulted in the identification of 19 broadly recognised standards that specify cybersecurity controls applicable to the smart grid infrastructure. The publications are described in respect to the controls they define and referred to evaluation criteria. In result, this paper constitutes a guideline on standardised cybersecurity controls for smart grids, where (criteria‐based) indications help to select standards for a particular smart grid area or specific goals. The method of the research as well as the standards' selection and evaluation criteria are presented.
