Abstract :
This minitrack focuses on topics related to advanced concepts to enhance reliability, and security and trust issues associated with operating the future electric power infrastructure. The increasing reliance of the electric power industry on information technologies introduces a new class of cyber vulnerabilities and threats to the electric power infrastructure that are only beginning to be effectively addressed through common industry standards and best practices. In addition, we invite papers that examine issues of resiliency and secure interoperability of future grid systems. This minitrack will explore the application of these technologies that are being considered to enhance the reliability of the rapidly evolving modern electric power system, and the associated cyber security issues associated with these and related technologies.
