Recent cyber-attacks and reconnaissance missions on cyber-physical energy systems (CPESs) have contributed to concerns regarding these systems' security, reliability, and resilience. As the deployment of new communication, computation, and control technologies in modern power systems increases, more sophisticated tools will be required to analyze and prevent failure and attack propagations between and within system layers. The objective of this project is to harden CPESs against failures and attacks and to educate future engineers about the new types of threats to future power systems and required tools to strengthen them. The proposed research encompasses the following key areas: classification of system layers and characterization of their interactions; establishment of new reliability and resilience indices; and development of advanced comprehensive models and methods for reliability and resilience assessment and enhancement of CPESs. The impacts of the proposed project extend well beyond these specific research areas. First, the problem of reliability and resilience assurance in power grids is timely since cyber-attacks and network reconnaissance missions have been increasing in recent years. Second, given that power grids are critical to the nation's economy and security and that the consequences of blackouts and damaged grid equipment are severe, it is becoming imperative to harden them against attacks and failure propagation. In addition to these large-scale contributions, the proposed research promises a direct and substantial educational impact, most notably by developing new curriculum, incorporating several project aspects into power reliability and resilient control courses, enhancing graduate and undergraduate research programs, and creating new student mentorship and career opportunities. The proposed research will contribute to the establishment of science and engineering principles for the design, reconstruction, and digitization of CPESs to ensure a secure, reliable, and resilient power supply, and will equip future generations of engineers with the necessary tools to operate and enhance them.While the objective of this proposal is to harden CPESs against failures and potential cyber- and physical-attacks, the proposed integrative approach addresses the reliability and resilience of future power grids and provides solutions to problems related to various research domains. The anticipated outcomes will advance the following topic areas: (1) characterizing inter- and intra-actions between and within system layers and sub-layers; (2) establishing a set of reliability and resilience indices to contribute to the power and energy industry's goal of developing standardized and universally accepted resilience indices and metrics for CPESs; (3) developing efficient hybrid evaluation methods based on the snowflake development theory for reliability and resilience assessment that is amenable to CPESs; and (4) developing a game theoretic approach to determine proactive defense solutions against unknown and unpredicted emerging threats. The research proposed here will contribute to the development of a transformative mathematical framework and methodology that will enable - both through direct consequences and through promotion of further research solutions to hurdles that presently impede the hardening of CPESs against catastrophic failures and attacks.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.

最近对网络物理能源系统(CPES)的网络攻击和侦察任务加剧了人们对这些系统的安全性、可靠性和弹性的担忧。随着新的通信、计算和控制技术在现代电力系统中的部署越来越多，将需要更复杂的工具来分析和防止系统层之间和内部的故障和攻击传播。该项目的目标是加强CPES以抵御故障和攻击，并教育未来的工程师关于未来电力系统面临的新型威胁和加强这些系统所需的工具。拟议的研究包括以下关键领域：系统各层的分类及其相互作用的特征；建立新的可靠性和复原力指数；以及为评估和加强CPES的可靠性和复原性开发先进的综合模型和方法。拟议项目的影响远远超出了这些具体的研究领域。首先，由于近年来网络攻击和网络侦察任务不断增加，电网的可靠性和弹性保证问题是及时的。其次，鉴于电网对国家经济和安全至关重要，停电和电网设备损坏的后果非常严重，加强电网抵御攻击和故障传播变得势在必行。除了这些大规模的贡献，这项拟议的研究还有望产生直接和实质性的教育影响，最显著的是通过开发新课程，将几个项目方面纳入电力可靠性和弹性控制课程，加强研究生和本科生的研究项目，以及创造新的学生指导和就业机会。这项拟议的研究将有助于为CPES的设计、重建和数字化建立科学和工程原则，以确保安全、可靠和有弹性的电力供应，并将为未来几代工程师提供必要的工具来操作和增强它们。虽然本建议的目标是加强CPES的故障和潜在的网络和物理攻击，但拟议的综合方法解决了未来电网的可靠性和弹性，并提供了与各种研究领域相关的问题的解决方案。预期成果将推进以下主题领域：(1)表征系统层和子层之间及内部的相互作用；(2)建立一套可靠性和复原力指数，以促进电力和能源行业为CPES制定标准化和普遍接受的复原力指数和指标的目标；(3)开发基于雪花发展理论的高效混合评估方法，用于CPES的可靠性和复原性评估；以及(4)开发博弈论方法，以确定针对未知和不可预测的新兴威胁的主动防御解决方案。这里提出的研究将有助于发展一种变革性的数学框架和方法，通过直接后果和促进进一步的研究解决方案来解决目前阻碍CPES针对灾难性故障和攻击的强化的障碍。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。
