Abstract

Managing electric utility operations has never been more challenging. Deregulation has created a wholesale market for power generation, and open access transmission has enabled the sale of bulk power over great distances. These changes come at a time when many parts of the North American transmission system already are operating near their stability limits. Increased reliance on computers, telecommunications and information systems raises concerns about cyber vulnerabilities. It was these concerns that led to Presidential Decision Directive (PDD)-63 and, subsequently, the NIPC´s Indications, Assessment and Warning (IAW) Program
