项目摘要

Rapid adoption of renewable energy, growth of distributed generation technologies and microgrid deployment, widespread implementations of IoT devices and associated cybersecurity concerns have led to an ever expanding risk landscape and have, in turn, shifted the focus from energy system protection to resilience. Furthermore, the past two decades have seen a consistently increasing interest in the application of tools developed in the interdisciplinary field of complex network analysis to enhance our understanding of functionality, security, and reliability of power systems and critical infrastructures in which power grid networks serve as an integral constituent. Such systems are intrinsically interconnected and interdependent, and as a result, failure of one component due to manmade and natural cause, e.g., adverse weather, aging, and intentional attacks such as terrorism, can lead to a catastrophic cascade of failures. However, one of the key obstacles for developing systematic and reliable assessment of power grid and critical infrastructure resiliency under various threats is unavailability of ground truth data on system response to adversaries due to data security, privacy and confidentiality. Motivated by these problems rooted in the analysis of modern power grids but inherent to many other complex network systems and given public availability of all blockchain transaction transactions, we propose to use blockchain graphs as a test-bed for validation of functionality and resilience metrics on complex power grid networks.Exploring power grid sensitivity to targeted attacks and failures in scenarios allowing for validation of any proposed methodology against ground truth is the key toward developing reliable risk mitigation strategies for power systems. The novel research approaches to be developed in this project aim to lay foundations for deeper knowledge integration and transfer across power systems, finance, social sciences and other disciplines by utilizing graph-theoretic analysis and adopting a common mathematical language of computational topology. By promoting new synergistic research initiatives, the project will further advance knowledge creation not only on power grids and blockchain but on modern complex networks, from brain connectome to social media platforms to telecommunication-- thereby facilitating resilience and sustainability of our society.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

可再生能源的快速采用、分布式发电技术的增长和微电网的部署、物联网设备的广泛实施以及相关的网络安全担忧导致了风险格局的不断扩大，进而将重点从能源系统保护转移到弹性上。此外，在过去的二十年里，人们对在复杂网络分析的跨学科领域开发的工具的应用不断增长的兴趣，以加强我们对电力系统和关键基础设施的功能、安全性和可靠性的了解，而电网网络是其中的一个组成部分。这些系统本质上是相互联系和相互依赖的，因此，一个组件由于人为和自然原因(如不利天气、老化和恐怖主义等故意袭击)而发生故障，可能会导致灾难性的一连串故障。然而，对电网和关键基础设施在各种威胁下的弹性进行系统和可靠的评估的关键障碍之一是，由于数据安全、隐私和机密性，无法获得关于系统对对手的响应的地面真实数据。由于这些问题源于现代电网的分析，但也是许多其他复杂网络系统的固有问题，鉴于所有区块链交易交易的公共可用性，我们建议使用区块链图作为验证复杂电网网络上的功能和弹性指标的试验台。探索电网对目标攻击和故障的敏感度，从而允许针对地面事实验证所提出的任何方法，是制定可靠的电力系统风险缓解策略的关键。本项目将开发的新的研究方法旨在利用图论分析和采用计算拓扑的通用数学语言，为电力系统、金融、社会科学和其他学科之间更深层次的知识集成和转移奠定基础。通过促进新的协同研究举措，该项目将进一步推动知识创造，不仅是在电网和区块链上，而且是在现代复杂网络上，从大脑连接组到社交媒体平台再到电信-从而促进我们社会的复原力和可持续性。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
