Visible to the public Optimal Configuration of Intrusion Detection Systems for Cyber-Physical Systems

In recent years, we have seen a number of successful cyber-attacks against high-profile targets, which have demonstrated that resourceful and determined attackers can penetrate even highly secure systems. In light of these attacks, it becomes apparent that defenders of cyber-physical systems cannot focus solely on preventing attackers from penetrating their systems. Instead, they must also prepare to promptly detect and mitigate security breaches, thereby limiting the impact of successful attacks.

Visible to the public A Gaussian-Mixture Model Based Detection against Data Integrity Attacks in Smart Grid Poster.pdf

The goal of this project is to establish a theoretical and empirical foundation for secured and efficient energy resource management in the smart grid - a typical energy-based cyber-physical system and the future critical energy infrastructure for the nation. In this study, we focus on the detection threats and propose a Gaussian-Mixture Model-based Detection (GMMD) scheme to mitigate data integrity attacks.

Visible to the public CPS- Synergy- Collaborative Research- Architectural and Algorithmic Solutions for Large Scale PEV Integration into Power Grids

This project designs algorithms for the integration of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PEVs) into the power grid. Specifically, the project will formulate and solve optimization problems critical to various entities in the PEV ecosystem -- PEV owners, commercial charging station owners, aggregators, and distribution companies -- at the distribution / retail level.

Visible to the public CPS- Synergy- Collaborative Research- A Unified System Theoretic Framework for Cyber Attack-Resilient Power Grid

There is an increased research trend towards the application of distributed control algorithms for network power system control. We analyze the vulnerability of these distributed control algorithms to a potential attack on the communication network. We show that that the decentralized load-side control algorithm for frequency regulation in power system is fragile to communication channel uncertainty. We also propose an optimization-based framework for the design of distributed load-side control algorithm robust to communication channel uncertainty.
