The smart grid is arguably one of the most complex cyber‐physical systems (CPS). Complex
security challenges have been revealed in both the physical and the cyber parts of the smart …

Abstract Purpose of Review In this paper, we study the literature on cyber-physical security
of electrical power systems. The paper is intended to address the security strengths and …

Recent studies on sequential attack schemes revealed new smart grid vulnerability that can
be exploited by attacks on the network topology. Traditional power systems contingency …

This paper describes a stochastic “Random Chemistry”(RC) algorithm to identify large
collections of multiple (nk) contingencies that initiate large cascading failures in a simulated …

Power systems as critical infrastructure are an integral part of human society and are
therefore of paramount importance to modern life. Vulnerabilities in the system, that are …

This study examines the use of bilevel programming to analyse the vulnerability of power
systems under multiple contingencies. One of the main purposes of this study is to explain …

This paper addresses the allocation of defensive or hardening resources in an electric
power grid to mitigate the vulnerability against multiple contingencies. This planning …

To comply with electric power grid automation strategies, new cyber-security protocols and
protection are required. What we now experience is a new type of protection against new …

This monograph explores mathematical issues related to vulnerability analysis of power
grids, with a focus on optimization methods. The target audience is primarily made up of …

This paper addresses the vulnerability analysis of the electric grid under terrorist threat. This
problem is formulated as a mixed-integer nonlinear bilevel program. In the upper-level …
