Security Analysis of Smart Grids: Successes and Challenges

Smart grid technology is being developed to upgrade the electric power grid through a smart communication structure, extensive computing resources, and information and sensing technologies. However, these cyberphysical components increase the security risk and introduce new vulnerabilities to the power system. This article presents a comprehensive survey of the major aspects of power system security evaluation.
