The security, agility, and robustness/survivability of a large-scale power delivery infrastructure that faces new threats and unanticipated conditions is presented.
Abstract
In this article, we present the security, agility, and robustness/survivability of a large-scale power delivery infrastructure that faces new threats and unanticipated conditions. By way of background, we present a brief overview of the past work on the challenges faced in online parameter estimation and real-time adaptive control of a damaged F-15 aircraft. This work, in part, provided the inspiration and laid the foundation in the 1990s for the flight testing of a fast parameter estimation/modeling and reconfigurable aircraft control system that allowed the F-15 to become self-healing in the face of damaged equipment.

A Perception-based Model for Smart Grid Adoption of Distribution System Operators - An Empirical Analysis.

TL;DR: A model based upon the technology-organization-environment (TOE) framework is developed and validated based on data collected from 180 German distribution system operators (DSOs) and suggests that the technological and regulatory context variables are only minor drivers while the organizational context variables have a substantial impact on the adoption decision.

Towards optimal PMU placement against data integrity attacks in smart grid

TL;DR: This paper considers the existing least-effort attack model that computes the minimum number of sensors that must be compromised in order to manipulate a given number of states, and develops a greedy-based algorithm for optimal PMU placement to defend against data integrity attacks.

Plug in to grid computing

TL;DR: The ability of grid-enabled systems to interact autonomously is vital for small generators where manned operation is likely to be viable and the ability to monitor the output of embedded generators to be monitored and controlled is vital.
