Abstract

This article presents a methodology to assess the most critical components of a given IT&C infrastructure. The focus is especially on the electric network management applications. The steps of this procedure are illustrated in a case study based on an industrial simulation tool performing technical operating tasks in distribution utilities. The obtained criticality hierarchy in our use case is correlated with the results of a previous criticality survey realized by the GRID* consortium.
