Abstract

The North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) has recently promoted the concept of cyber-informed transmission planning, through integration of components including substations, generation, and transmission and distribution interfaces. While unmanned substations utilize camera surveillance to deter physical intrusions, vulnerability through electronic breaches is still a relevant concern. This paper enhances grid characterization by employing physics-based modeling through power flow analysis. Hypothetical simulated combinations in conjunction with both established and innovative models makeup the approach. Integration of data and models through simulation produce a platform capable of comprehensive analysis, monitoring, and optimization. The paper underscores the crucial role of cyber-related contingencies in power systems and their respective substations, highlighting proof-of-concept studies conducted by simulation.
