Abstract

This talk will give an overview of the research in the Advanced Grid Laboratory for Cyber-Physical Energy System Applications (ANGLE) group at KAUST (angle.kaust.edu.sa). Specifically, the talk will present different cases of attack strategies simulated under nominal and abnormal operating conditions to uncover their system-wide impacts in power systems, as well as illustrate the impact of such attacks and the feasibility of detection methods in simulation models in order to enhance system resilience.
