On The Evolution Of The Smart Grid

This paper has briefly discussed the development of the erstwhile power network into smart grid with modern communication systems. These communication system networks (ICT) are susceptible to cyber attacks. These attacks arc generally carried out by the attacker with the intention to create an emergency in the power system network. The power network may also have emergency situations. This paper has simulated the contingency attack and compared with the actual contingency occurrence at a generator bus. The paperdiscusses the need for reliability analysis of the power system in near future.
