Cyber-Physical Attacks in Transmission Systems Using Digital Twin (NSoE)

This project aims to investigate the possible cyber, physical and cyber-physical attacks in the transmission system of the power grid using the digital twin technique and to develop mitigation techniques for such attacks to secure the transmission system. This research will help the grid operator to understand the system vulnerability under various topology attacks while the developed mitigation techniques will facilitate the stability, reliability and robustness of the transmission system. The project will base on model-based design that involves the simulation of the cyber, physical and cyber-physical attacks in the transmission system of the power grid using the available open-source software commonly used in the power system industry, such as PyPSA, GNU Octave, MatPower, OpenDSS and OpenModelica.
