Smart Grid Security: An End-to-End View of Security in the New Electrical Grid

The Smart Grid has the potential to revolutionize electricity delivery systems, and the security of its infrastructure is a vital concern. This volume explores the important techniques, challenges, and forces that will shape how we achieve a secure 21^st century electric grid. The authors discuss the technical details about how metering technology is being implemented and the likely threats and vulnerabilities that utilities will face. They address the home area network (HAN) and examine distribution and transmission-the foundation for the delivery of electricity-along with distributed generation, micro-grids, and operations.
