Abstract
Power grids are evolving into smart grids in order to create a sustainable energy system. Decentralized, intermittent generation and demand management needs, among other things, make the grid more dynamic and demanding, thus posing a management challenge. Communication and information technologies are used extensively to address this challenge. Wider penetration of open, public communication networks and information technologies induces vulnerabilities into the system. Furthermore, critical infrastructure assets, such as power grids, are primary targets in cyber warfare and cyber criminality. The panelists will share experiences on reliability and security of power grids with perspectives of resilience, cybersecurity, operation and control, data-driven approaches, and mobile communication.
