The current electric grid is considered as one of the best engineering achievements of the twentieth century. It**was designed to deliver power to various consumer domains. To a large extent, it has been successful in**fulfilling this objective. Nevertheless, the electric grid has experienced several blackouts over the past years. In**particular, there have been five major blackouts over the past forty years, three of which have occurred in the**past nine years alone. The aspiration to secure power, to achieve energy efficiency and to contribute to**environment protection through the increasing utilization of renewable energies are driving the need to deploy**smart grids. It is predicated that these smart grids will allow for bidirectional power flow as well as new ways**to manage both power generation and the increasing energy demand. The successful deployment of smart grids**is predicated on the ability to guarantee their security. Such a requirement is of paramount importance since**electrical grids are essential to several components of the critical infrastructure. Recent cyber security incidents**and security research studies demonstrate that electrical grids could be subjected to disrupting attacks that**might lead to severe security and economic consequences, and even to the endangerment and loss of human**lives. Furthermore, the increasing integration of ICT technologies will definitely augment cyber attack**surfaces. The exploitation of these vulnerabilities might lead to attacks that will, for instance, skew the state**information, alter the abilities to locate events or faults on transmission lines, place the grid at operating points**that are at greater risk from contingencies. This will lead to undesirable and severe consequences such as**financial losses, systemic losses from cascading failures, major blackouts, etc. The primary intent of this**research is to explore the security of smart grid domains, components, devices and protocols to: (1) elicit the**security requirements; (2) identify the attack surfaces together with the underlying vulnerabilities, threats and**their cyber physical consequences; (3) propose practical and efficient detection, prevention, mitigation and**recovery techniques and methodologies that will definitely harden and enhance the overall smart grid security.

当前的电网被认为是20世纪最佳的工程成就之一。它旨在为各种消费域提供电力。在很大程度上，它成功地实现了这一目标。尽管如此，在过去的几年中，电网经历了几次停电。在**尤其是过去的四十年中，已经发生了五个主要停电，其中三年发生在过去的九年中。通过日益利用可再生能源的利用来确保获得权力，实现能源，实现能源效率并为环境保护做出贡献的愿望正在推动部署智能电网的需求。可以预见的是，这些智能电网将允许双向功率流以及新方法**来管理发电和不断增长的能源需求。成功部署智能电网**是取决于保证其安全性的能力。这样的要求至关重要，因为**电网对于关键基础架构的几个组成部分至关重要。最近的网络安全事件**和安全研究研究表明，电网可能会破坏**可能导致严重的安全和经济后果，甚至危害人类**的危害和丧失。此外，ICT技术的不断增长肯定会增加网络攻击**表面。对这些漏洞的开发可能会导致攻击，例如，偏向状态**信息，改变了在传输线上定位事件或故障的能力，将网格放置在操作点**处，这些**面临着意外情况更大的风险。这将导致不良和严重的后果，例如**财务损失，级联故障的系统损失，主要停电等。这项**研究的主要目的是探索智能网格域，组件，设备和协议的安全性：（1）（1）提出**安全要求； （2）确定攻击表面以及潜在的漏洞，威胁和**网络身体后果； （3）提出实用有效的检测，预防，缓解和**恢复技术和方法，这些技术和方法肯定会硬化并增强整体智能电网安全性。
