A Taxonomy of Cyber Defence Strategies Against False Data Attacks in Smart Grids (original) (raw)

Modern electric power grid, known as Smart Grid, has fast transformed the isolated and centrally controlled power system to a fast and massively connected cyber-physical system that benefits from the revolutions happening in the communications (such as 5G/6G) and the fast adoption of Internet of Things devices (such as intelligent electronic devices and smart meters). While the synergy of a vast number of cyber-physical entities has allowed the Smart Grid to be much more effective and sustainable in meeting the growing global energy challenges, it has also brought with it a large number of vulnerabilities resulting in breaches of data integrity, confidentiality and availability. False data injection (FDI) appears to be among the most critical cyberattacks and has been a focal point interest for both research and industry. To this end, this paper presents a comprehensive review in the recent advances of the defence countermeasures of the FDI attacks in the Smart Grid. Relevant existi...
