Abstract:

This project will design next--generation defense mechanisms to protect critical infrastructures, such as power grids, large industrial plants, and water distribution systems. These critical infrastructures are complex primarily due to the integration of cyber and physical components, the presence of high--order behaviors and functions, and an intricate and large interconnection pattern.

Abstract:

Motivation: Energy infrastructure is a critical underpinning of modern society. To ensure its reliable operation, a nation--wide or continent--wide situational awareness system is essential to provide high--resolution understanding of the system dynamics such that proper actions can be taken in real--time in response to power system disturbances and to avoid cascading blackouts. The power grid represents a typical highly dynamic cyber--physical system (CPS).
