Abstract :
This paper presents an overview of smart grid and issues regarding security of cyber-physical components. The motivation for choosing this topic resumes to the present transition of the power grid to an advanced, two-way communication and distributed generation of renewable energy smart grid. Due to the fact that the power grid´s infrastructure, systems and applications were not designed to easily integrate the IT network, architectural vulnerabilities arise leading to physical and cyber security risks.
