Cyber-resiliency of digitalised power grids
The digitization of the power grid is one of the key components to support a cost-effective transition toward “Net-zero”. However, the increasing cyber-physical dependency causes potential vulnerabilities against cyber-attacks that may lead to catastrophic damages in the power grid. It is hence critical to understand such vulnerabilities and develop capabilities to maintain the safe operation under those attacks. This talk will introduce a cyber-resiliency framework that includes prevention, detection, mitigation, recovery and the interactions among them. We will then focus on presenting a proactive defence strategy for attack detection and the “safe-mode” operation strategy for attack migration.
